How to share our location on Apple Maps

Apple maps have added a couple of new features with the arrival of iOS 13. One of these new functions allows us to share our location, route and destination with any of our contacts in a simple way and fully integrated into the map application itself. A very useful system today (and more on these dates), to communicate to our friends, family or acquaintances where we are and how much time we have left to arrive.

This new function comes along with the increase of detail in the maps, the change of Siri's voice for navigation, the updating of the streets and especially the new Vista Panormica mode that takes us inside the streets. If you wanted to try this new mode (currently available in very few places), open the Apple maps application and look for Palo Alto, CA, United States, where the first tab is the panoramic view mode.

Apple has added the possibility of sharing our location, route and destination with whom we want from the application of Apple's maps. For it, has added in the initial navigation screen of your maps, the option to share our location with our contacts through an SMS or from the maps application itself. To use it we will have to do the following steps:

  1. Start a route

    We put the address we want and start navigating a route

  2. Slide Men Up

    We slide the menu where the estimated arrival time, details and audio appear up, to see the rest of the options.

  3. Share Arrival

    Click on the menu Share arrival of the pop-up menu.

  4. Select contact

    We select the contact with whom we want to share our location, route and destination.

A great system to let our loved ones know, or whoever we want, where we are and how long it will take us to reach our destination. Avoiding having to make calls every two to three while driving, and knowing that we are located in case something happens.
