Google Maps for iOS can share places on Facebook

There might be a time when you quickly need to share your location on Facebook to make sure at least one person knows where you are. If that ever happens, you can just fire up Google Maps on an iPhone or an iPad, drop a pin and share your info from within the app, now that it’s been updated with the feature. The latest version’s also useful if you’re friends with someone who always seems to get lost, since it comes with the ability to share via FB’s Messenger app, as well. Plus, it brings a better Transit view to the platform with more route choices and real-time arrival info, just like the one already available on Android. Finally, you get a brand new image gallery when you update. That will make it easy to look at user-uploaded photos on Maps, which you can use to cross-reference places you’ve never visited in the past.
