Luckily, smartphone Apps have made things simpler. If both of you have Whatsapp installed, then the experience can be less frustrating. Here’s how to send and get directions using Whatsapp. #1. Get out of the building you’re in. #2. Make sure you can see the sky without obstructions like trees, roof tops etc. #3. Step #1 and #2 are very important. If you haven’t done that e.g staying in your house, please don’t proceed to step #4. #4. Tap on WhatsApp menu icon (looks like a paper clipper for the latest versions). #5. Select location. Wait for the app to get your current location. Note: You must have turned on location (which activates GPS) in the settings. If not, WhatsApp will prompt you to turn GPS/Location on. #6. Wait for at least 6 seconds for better accuracy of your current location. This is important because it takes a while before your smartphone GPS can accurately determine your exact location. Otherwise you’ll be thrown off to some wrong location.. Anything within 3-10m accuracy is good enough. #7. Finally tap on “send my current location” to your recipient That’s it.
