App to share real time location with boyfriend? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm taking a long biking trip soon and want to share my live location with my boyfriend in case something happens. Any recommendations for privacy-focused apps that can accomplish this? I'm on Android, he's on iOS.

Dude life360 is terrible. They just got caught selling location data to 3rd parties too I think? That on top of the battery drain of your phone constantly polling gps. It's all bad.

Drain wasn't terrible for me, and live location is miles better than maps. But yeah, ditched because of thier bad rep.
