Share your location

Share my location

One tap reads where you stand and turns it into a ready-to-send link that opens straight to your spot in Google Maps. It is a single pin of this exact moment — perfect for “come find me here”. Want them to watch you close the distance instead? Switch to live location sharing.

Need a link that keeps moving?

Live location sharing gives you a private link that updates on a map in real time and stops the moment you do.

Share live location Open a shared link

Your location is read in your browser and never stored by us. Only share the link with people you trust.

How to share your location

  1. Tap Use my location and allow your browser’s location prompt — the request only fires when you tap.
  2. Check the map pin and the reverse-geocoded address to confirm it’s right.
  3. Tap Share to open your device’s share sheet (Messages, WhatsApp, email, AirDrop…), or copy the Google Maps link.
  4. Send it. Whoever opens it sees a pin at the exact spot you were when you tapped.

A single snapshot, or a dot that moves with you

This one sends a single snapshot: one spot, frozen at the moment you tapped. Keep walking and the link still points back at the old place — it won’t come with you. When you’d rather someone watch you get closer in real time (meeting up, a hike, a long drive home), reach for live location sharing — a private link that moves with you on a map and stops the instant you do. And to follow a link a friend sent you, head to view a live location.

What’s in the share link

FieldWhat it is
Decimal degrees (DD)Latitude, longitude like 48.8584, 2.2945 — the universal format.
DMSThe same point in degrees, minutes and seconds.
AddressA best-effort street address from OpenStreetMap, just for context.
Google Maps linkA maps/search URL that drops a pin at your coordinates in any browser or app.
AccuracyThe radius your device reports — smaller is more precise.

Privacy: what we do and don’t do

Your position is read in your browser and the link is built on your device — we don’t store it or tie it to your identity. The only thing that leaves your browser is a cached lookup to turn coordinates into an address. The Google Maps link itself contains your coordinates in plain text, so only send it to people you trust. Want to see the raw numbers first? Open what are my coordinates. All coordinates use the WGS84 datum.

Frequently asked questions

Does this share my location continuously?
No. This creates a one-time snapshot of where you are the moment you tap — the link won’t follow you. For a dot that updates in real time, use live location sharing instead.

How do I send the link?
Tap Share to open your phone’s native share sheet (Messages, WhatsApp, email, AirDrop and so on). On browsers without that feature, use the copy button and paste it anywhere.

What does the recipient need?
Nothing special. The link is a standard Google Maps URL — it opens in any web browser or the Google Maps app and drops a pin at your coordinates. No account or app install required.

How accurate is the shared location?
It’s as accurate as your device’s GPS at that moment — usually a few metres outdoors with a clear sky, and much rougher indoors. We show the reported accuracy radius so you know how tight the fix is. You can check it more carefully with the coordinates tool.

Is my location stored anywhere?
No. Reading your position and building the link both happen in your browser; we don’t save your coordinates or link them to you. The only network call is a cached lookup to fetch a human-readable address.

Can I share where I’ll be later, not where I am now?
This tool shares your current spot. To share a different point, open the coordinates tool and drag the pin, or paste any coordinates into the Google Maps search yourself.
