Google Maps new feature: Share location using Plus Codes

Google Maps has a new feature that will allow users to share their location using Plus Codes. The option to share Plus Codes has been present in the Google Maps application since 2015. "The technology to generate Plus Codes is also open source, which means the technology is easy and free to use, so anyone can see how the technology works and develop their own applications for any use case," David Martin, Director of Program Management, Google Maps, said in a statement on Friday. To share location using Plus Codes, users will have to tap on the blue dot representing their current location and get a Plus Code for it.
