Cross-platform location sharing
Pricing:
- Open Source
There is an open source product called OwnTracks that has been around for many years and is somewhat easy to setup. But to make a single server work for multiple friend groups and my family, some modifications need to be made. My mom doesn't need to know where my friends are, and separate friend groups don't need to see each other's locations. OwnTracks defaults let everyone on the server see everyone else's location, though. Luckily, I have come up with a fairly simple workaround.

To make it much easier on your users, there is a way to share OwnTracks configuration via a link. Unfortunately, the link starts with owntracks:// which will be stripped by all messaging platforms that I've tried, but you can use Branch.io to help with this. First create a .otrc file for each user that looks like this:.
