Google says the update will be rolling out soon to apps and the Maps site to users worldwide. Moving forward: While all the recent Maps updates have been significant, we’re particularly looking forward to this one. Having your family and friends spy on your location might seem creepy. Still, it handles it well, with expiration times, automatic shut-off, and trip tracking that ends when you arrive. It’s a bit like Apple’s Find My Friends app, but we think it’ll be way more helpful built into Maps rather than needing to remember to open a second app.
