Accepting an invitation

When you get a sharing request from a friend, you can:
• Accept and share back. You can see your friend's location, and your friend
can see yours.
• Accept, but hide my location. You can see your friend's location, but they
can't see yours.
• Don't accept. No location information is shared between you and your friend.
You can change how your location is shared with each friend at any time. Refer to
"To share your location with friends and request to see their locations" earlier in this
chapter for more details.

Showing your friends

You can show your friends using the map view or the list view.
Map view
When you open Google Maps, it shows your friends'
locations. Each friend is represented by a photo icon
with an arrow pointing at his or her approximate
location. If a friend has opted to enable city-level
sharing, his or her icon will not have an arrow and it
appears in the middle of the city. Refer to "To share
your location with friends and request to see their
locations" earlier in this chapter for more details.
To see your friend's profile and connect with him or
her, tap the photo. This will display your friend's name,
then tap the balloon right above his or her icon.
To see other friends, tap either one of the arrow
buttons next to the balloon.
