Google Maps gets updated location sharing UI

Google has issued an update to Google Maps, focused on the location sharing UI. It now features a less-pronounced bar, a new floating button and a card with your name, current address and phone battery charge.

You can get to the location sharing menu by tapping your avatar in the upper-right corner of Google Maps and then Location sharing.
