Recent months have seen a significant number of modifications made to Google Maps. Users in India may now use Street View on Google Maps; however, there have been several modifications made, including the introduction of an immersive view, updated information regarding bicycle routes, and details regarding the ability to share one’s position. Users are already able to share their positions using Google Maps; but, with the addition of this new function, users will be able to notify their contacts when they have arrived at or departed from a place.
An intriguing new upgrade has been included in the location-sharing functionality of Google Maps. Users may now establish a notification that will tell a person when they have arrived at a destination or departed a destination, in addition to sharing their live location with that person.

“With the new location sharing alerts, you’ll be able to know when a loved one has arrived or departed a location, which will make it much simpler for you to coordinate schedules and provide you more peace of mind. Imagine that you are going to a concert with a few of your close friends. In the event that they have previously decided to share their location with you, you will be able to establish a notification for the music venue’s address. This will allow you to know when they have arrived at the place so that you can promptly meet up with them. In a blog post, Google said that “you could even set a notification to know when they’ve left the venue — just in case you get split apart.”
Google has made the function secure by ensuring that the notification may only be set by the person who has already given permission for you to access their location data. If you are thinking that you can use Google Maps to conduct covert surveillance on another person, you should know that this is not really possible. The person who has shared their location with you will be sent various reminders to let them know, including a push notice inside the Maps app, an email, and recurrent monthly emails. These reminders will be sent to the person who has shared their location with you. You will have the ability to take back control of your location sharing and prevent others from sending you alerts completely.
