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.

How do you expect them to fund the development?
