When you navigate by car, foot, or bicycle, you can share your destination, estimated arrival time, and current location. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app .
The smaller the circle, the more certain the app is about your location. If the blue dot isn’t visible or is gray, Maps can’t find your current location. Instead, Maps shows the last location you visited. Tip: If there’s something between you and cell towers, like a parking garage or tall buildings, your blue dot might not be accurate.
General places on the map Local results appear for people who search for businesses and places near their location. They're shown in various places across Maps and Search. For example, if you search for "Italian restaurant" from your mobile device, you can get local results. Google shows you nearby restaurants that you’d want to visit.
Google Location Sharing is an app setting. This helps share your real-time location from devices with people you choose in a Google app or service, like: Maps Messages Find Hub Family Link
