Sharing Google Maps routes in messengers and social networks

Google Maps lets users share routes created in the Android and iPhone (iOS) app via social networks and messengers. With the feature, it is possible to guide lost contacts, show friends how to get to a city's sights, or share routes with multiple people.

In apps like WhatsApp, the recipient receives a link that takes you to the route map and can view a quick description with exit and arrival point. The same text is inserted into posts on social networks through sharing options. Here's how to share routes created with the Google Map app.
