Snapchat Map
Snapchat is using the solar eclipse to show off the real potential of its maps feature
Snapchat’s latest feature lets you share your location with your Snapchat friends, and view their location on a map, updating when you open the photo messaging app.
When you update Snapchat and get to the Snap Map walkthrough, as seen below, only three screens need to be clicked through to complete it.
Though it mentions sharing your location, it’s vague on what that exactly means.
Users might not understand that Snap is posting your location on Snap Map every time you open the app. Not just when you share Snaps to Our Story.
It’s not meant to be a utility the way that, say, Facebook’s friend location feature is. It’s less about helping you get from point A to point B and more about helping users see what other stuff is going on around them and adding context around what their friends are doing.
