> we’re well underway putting location sharing into Hangouts
You can already share location on Hangouts, but it is deeply broken. Or do they mean "bring back Latitude"?
Not long ago I had experience where I had to meet online friend, we were on the same route, just different directions. It all went like sharing our current location every 5 minutes (with increasing frequency towards meeting point) and still managed to miss each other, because "you said your car was grey, but its silver!". Live location sharing is necessary for many workflows and there are tons of apps for that with disputable trustworthiness.
