Your location will by default be shared for a short period of time. You may therefore set a time limit for how long your location can be shared if you’re meeting up with someone and don’t want them to have constant access to it. To make your location shareable for as little as 15 minutes or as much as 24 hours, use the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons.
Google Maps also allows you to share your estimated arrival time to the destination with the contacts you want.
Here’s an easy guide that will help you to share your location on Android via Google Maps:
Step 1 : Open the Google Maps app on your Android phone or tablet.
Step 2 : Look for a location. Or, locate a location on the map, then touch and hold to add a pin.
Step 3 : Tap the place’s name or address at the bottom
Step 4 : Tap on the Share icon. If you don’t see the Share icon, select More > Share.
Step 5 : Then choose the app where you want to share the location.
Step 1 : Set your Destination.
Step 2 : Tap on Directions.
Step 3 : Then, tap on Start.
Step 4 : Swipe up, and select Share Trip Progress option.
Step 5 : Select the contact with whom you want to share your ETA.
Once you arrive or stop using the navigation, location sharing will end.
