A new Snapchat update allows
users to access someone's precise location with the platform's "Snap Map" feature if location sharing is enabled
Snap Map feature gives
away a user's physical address, and allows people to view how long of a drive they are from someone else's location.
For parents and others
who may be concerned Snapchat allows users to disable their whereabouts by selecting "Ghost Mode" in the app
The feature also shows
images and videos posted by people from around the world, which anyone can view by clicking on the map.
New paid subscription
service costing as much as $3.99 per month lets you see each place their friends have been for the past 24 hours.
Snapchat previously said
the map was developed with privacy and security in mind. Location sharing via the Snap Map is off by default
