Safe and private way to share location with family (self.privacy)

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.

Just share the GPS coords using any app that respects your privacy, and send using a messaging app that respects your privacy.

Doesn't matter what the GPS app is really (although I always recommend OrganicMaps), most all of them have a way to copy your current location and also snap to a pasted coordinate.

This. There are many ways to simply share coordinates like you would share a weblink - click on it, the appropriate app opens it.
