Show 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” on page 81 for more details.
If your friends use Google Talk, those friends’ online status (available, busy,
and so on) is indicated by a circular icon below those friends’ pictures. For
more information, see “Using Google Talk™” on page 62.
To see your friend’s profile and connect with him or her, touch the photo. This
will display your friend’s name, then touch the balloon right above his or her
icon.
To see other friends, touch either one of the arrow buttons next to the balloon.
