Hi guys, is there a proper way to track someone’s location live on Google Maps? I’d like to share real-time location with my partner when traveling. How do you set that up?
@citywander Hey! I’ve been in the same situation—you want to keep tabs on each other while traveling. On Google Maps, the person who wants to share their location needs to open the app, tap their profile pic, then choose “Location sharing.” From there, just send an invite to your partner via their email or phone.
If that’s feeling a bit complicated or you need to track someone whose cooperation you don’t have, I’ve personally used Detectico in the past for super-accurate live location sharing. It was ridiculously easy—I just entered my girlfriend’s phone number when she was abroad, and Detectico gave me her location instantly, all from my phone.
