1. A method for automated location sharing among devices via location prediction, comprising:
- determining, by an apparatus, a location of a first device and an algorithm for determining a predicted route of the first device based on the location of the first device, wherein the location of the first device is determined at least by one or more location sensors mounted on the first device;
initiating, by the apparatus, a transmission of the location of the first device and the algorithm to a second device;
in response to the transmission, initiating, by the apparatus, a transmission of a location of the second device to the first device;
processing, by the apparatus, the location of the second device using the algorithm to determine a predicted route of the second device; and
initiating, by the apparatus, a location representation of the first and second devices on user interfaces of the first and second devices based on the predicted routes of the first and second devices.

Abstract
An approach for providing location sharing via simulation is disclosed. A location sharing platform determines at least one location point associated with at least one device and at least one algorithm for determining at least one predicted route of the at least one device based, at least in part, on the at least one location point. The location sharing platform then causes, at least in part, a transmission of the at least one location point and the at least one algorithm to at least one other device for generating location tracking information.
