Many of us use Google Maps on a daily basis. Wherever we want to go, Google Maps is always a big help in finding the right direction. We think that we know how to take full advantage of this feature. However, Google Maps has some options that remain pretty much unknown to most of the users. They can be very helpful at the same time.
In this article we will take a look at some of the features that you should know about.

Thanks to this option, you can share your current location with others in real time, which can help you find your friends with ease.
