Snapchat's new maps feature shows you where your friends are

Snapchat is expanding into the world of mapping.

A new feature announced on Wednesday called Snap Maps will let the app's 166 million users share their locations with each other, according to a company blog post.

A trailer for the feature shows two women browsing a map in Snapchat and tapping on a friend's location to see posts shared from the area.

Snapchat has crowdsourced user posts for years around events like concerts and sporting games, and it recently added a search feature to show more location-based stories.
