Is there a European alternative to Apple FindMy or GoogleMaps location tracking that allows you to share your location with each other?

I would be very grateful for any tips.

    I use osmand and send simple plaintext coordinates: 45.89873° N, 15.94801° E

    If you mean continuous location sharing, there’s a tracker plugin for osmand which (sadly) uses Telegram. Haven’t tried it, but if it’s encrypted (as Telegram chat isn’t by default), could be good.

      Why’s it a bad thing that it uses telegram? How else could they have implemented it? They obviously can’t use their own servers

        For me, it’s a bad thing because I won’t install it on my phone. Same with anything Zuckerberg’s.

            It has ads, so that disqualifies it for me, don’t even have to search for other flaws.

                I don’t expect it. I just won’t use or install anything that has ads, ever. You’re the one asking me, I just started by saying the plugin sadly uses Telegram.
