Safe and private way to share location with family (thelemmy.club)

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.

There are many ways to simply share coordinates like you would share a weblink - click on it, the appropriate app opens it. Not sure if I remember correctly, but they look like gps://....

I currently use Google maps

As far as services are concerned I recommend openstreetmaps and its various web/app/desktop frontends. But ulktimately it will be up to each family member how they choose to open such links.
