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.

When I go some place I tell my spouse I'll be there. Are you looking for something more specific in 'sharing you location'?

[–] heydamianc 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I was hoping to find something more specific by posting here.

We drive across some pretty remote places, sometimes alone, so it would be more helpful to have a solution that periodically pings (hopefully automatically) and somehow shares with selected individuals.

I understand. Hopefully someone will be able to suggest something more useful ;)
