Do you know of a way to share your location with family members. I currently use Google maps because my family has both Android and iOS devices so preferably something cross platform. Thanks for your help.

I noticed this app on F-Droid but have no experience with it. Maybe it'll suit your needs

I'm testing this app now, just between me and my wife before we give it to the kids. Right now we can only send location updates when we open the app. I’ve tried all the typical things (background battery, always on GPS permissions, etc) without luck. Suggestions? Did you get it to work well for you?

Sorry, I haven't tried it as I have no need. I only shared it as an option that people might try and maybe it will fit their lifestyle.
