There are more secure location sharing apps out there that are end to end encrypted. My family uses Zood location https://www.zood.xyz/ when we are out and about and needing to coordinate our locations. It is handy to use sometimes but it doesn’t do all the spy stuff the other apps do.
My family has moved to https://www.zood.xyz/ and it has been pretty solid. https://github.com/zood/ is the github repo for it.
