As with most app updates, Skype is no stranger to rolling out with fantastic new features. On Monday, the Microsoft-owned Skype was updated to version 5.14, introducing a new geo-location sharing feature.

If you're possibly chatting with a buddy on Skype and looking to meet up, the app has made things 10x easier. Folks in the chat window of Skype can now tap on the paperclip icon and choose a location on a map to send to the recipient.

After tapping on the location option, a map picker will pop up, enabling the user to send their current location. The feature also allows the sender to search for any other place in to world to send. The recipient can then tap on the message and choose to show driving directions to the chosen location.

Of course location access will need to be enabled via the Settings app for Skype. Skype 5.14 is now available to download for free in the iTunes App Store.
