How to share your location on iPhone

There are times when you want to meet a person at a particular location but you do not know the exact address, or street, or house. It would probably make it a lot easier if you could tell the other person where you are rather than knowing the full details.

Your iPhone lets you do exactly that. It lets you share your location via GPS with anyone. Due to various privacy concerns, your phone does not broadcast your location all the time. Instead of that, the phone gives the users capability to choose to send their location to a specific person for a specific amount of time.
