With that warning out of the way, let me show you two different ways to share your location in MacOS.
How to share your location from ‘Find My’
What you’ll need: To do this, you’ll need a MacOS device (MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or iMac) and that’s it. I would highly recommend that you make sure the device is up-to-date because you want to have the latest security patches on your system (again, to be safe).
Click the Launchpad icon on your dock and type Find in the search bar to reveal the icon for Find My. Click that icon to open the app.
Strangely enough, I don’t even own an iPad, so why my iMac appears as an iPad, I have no idea.

Locate the Share My Location on/off switch and click it to enable the sharing service. Once you’ve done that, you’ll see your address in the Location area. Or, if you’ve associated that address with a place like Home, Work, School, Gym, or a custom label, that will appear.
At this point, your location has been shared and your contacts will be able to easily locate you.
Once again, when you no longer need to share your location, make sure to turn off the service.
At the upper right corner of the Messages window, you’ll see the circled “i”. Click that icon to open the information pop-up for that contact.
I would recommend only using the first two options, so you can have some semblance of privacy.

I would recommend sharing your location via the second method because it limits who can see where you are. If you need to share your location with a group, create a group chat and follow the same instructions above.

Always use a measure of caution when sharing your location. You don’t want some random person (or stalker) finding out where you are and then showing up (seemingly) out of the blue.
