I rely on this Apple Maps feature tons of people don't know exists

For many people, Apple Maps was a distant second to Google Maps. However, one feature has turned me into an Apple Maps enthusiast. This feature is the ability to share my estimated time of arrival (ETA) with others. While many are unaware of it, I find it to be an indispensable tool in my travels. With this feature, I can keep loved ones informed of my arrival time and track my progress in real-time.

While Google Maps has offered this feature for some time, Apple Maps has quickly caught up and now provides a similarly robust solution. As someone who drives infrequently, I rely on this feature when picking up my children for activities like guitar lessons or trampoline park visits. Knowing my ETA and location relieves my wife's concerns about our safety and gives us peace of mind.

Additionally, sharing my ETA with someone else can be incredibly helpful when I need to pick them up, as it eliminates any guesswork and lets them know exactly when to be ready. While sharing an ETA might seem like a minor feature, it can make a significant difference in specific situations. So, give this feature a try and see how it can enhance your iPhone experience.
