- When you open Snap Map, you will see the Bitmoji or figures of your friends in their real-time location, along with the local time and weather.
- Snap Map also lets you view popular Snap locations from around the world and watch public stories at big events or landmarks.

Snapchat introduced its real-time $4 feature in the summer of 2017 as a way to see Snaps from all around the world - as well as the location of your friends.
Snap Map can be broken down in three ways. First, you can tap hotspots on the $4 to see Snaps shared publicly and taken from any location. Red areas indicate more Snaps taken in a specific area, whereas blue areas have less.
Second, public Stories can be found on the map and let you see Snaps from big events, like football games or historic locations.
And lastly, the Snap Map allows you to see the real-time location of your $4 friends who've opted to share their location. Here's how:
