From the email to Trusted Contacts users:

> Since then, we’ve built this functionality directly into Google Maps with Location Sharing

That's simply not true. You can share your location with someone else, but you can't request it from someone else _and_ automatically receive it after a timeout, in case they are incapacitated. This was probably 90% of the reason to use Trusted Contacts.

I understand that companies need to kill some products so others can thrive, but don't gaslight me into thinking that functionality exists where it does not.
