How to share your ETA with someone on Apple Maps

Every time you meet your friends, do they spam you with messages like: Have you left yet? How much longer for you to reach? Are you there yet? What’s your ETA?  Yes, we all have those _always-_right-on-time friends who just won’t let you live (and be late). And there’s a very easy way to tackle them (of course besides leaving at the time that you really should). Apple Maps on iOS 13 has a new feature that lets you share your estimated time of arrival (ETA) with your friends and family so they won’t bug you again and again to get the update on your location.
