My family has been using the Google Maps location sharing feature for a while. My partner is able to see if I'm running late, I can tell where my sister is when we travel together.

I would like to find a way to continue sharing my location with my family, without sharing it with Google. Are there any apps for this?

If you're into self hosting, traccar is an option, which also has its own mobile app of course. Not the best thing ever but when it works, it's nice. Connects to home assistant nicely, too.
