In the past this feature makes possible to show your position live using any browser. The URL sent to recipient just points to map with a car marked on it, and moving.
However I noticed sometimes (quite often) the URL caused to open destination area map, without even calculated route. Something was broken. Recently I didn't check this feature, so don't know if it works.
However I found another issue while using this functionality. There is (was) no option to change the language of the message. I can understand difficulties determining language in case of some communication channels (like e-mail in .com domain). But web page showing route's information to a recipient:
a) can open with language depending on browser localization
b) should have an option to change the language
BTW in case of sending ETA via SMS, it is possible to determine the language by phone number prefix.
Probably other channels offer some abilities too.
with regards
