Trying to explain where you are in a foreign city can be very confusing for everyone. Also great for your family if you are going out for a walk, run, etc.
Most of us use Whatsapp, and it’s simple enough to share your location via the app – another alternative if you are traveling or meeting others is Glympse, which is also a free app. Just remember sharing locations and using apps consume data so always ensure you have a local data bundle.
