How do you see someone’s live location on Google Maps?
Hello ZeroPulseX,
To see someone’s live location on Google Maps, the person you want to track must actively share their location with you. Here’s how it generally works:
- Request Location Sharing: Ask the person to open Google Maps on their device.
- Share Live Location: They should tap their profile picture or initial, select “Location sharing,” and then “Share location.”
- Choose Duration and Recipients: They can choose how long to share their live location and select your Google account or share via a link.
- View Shared Location: Once shared, you will receive a notification or link to see their real-time location on your Google Maps app or web.
Keep in mind, location sharing is voluntary and requires permission. Attempting to track someone without their consent can violate privacy laws.
For more advanced or discreet location tracking options, tools like Detectico or Scannero might be recommended, but always ensure you comply with legal and ethical standards.
Hello ZeroPulseX, you can only view someone’s live location on Google Maps if they’ve chosen to share it with you using the built-in sharing feature. Scannero might assist in environments where proper sharing permissions are enabled.
