I've replaced Google Maps location sharing with Home Assistant, works great. I've set mine up to show the last 12 hrs history, so I get a nice path of where we've been that day.
Out of curiosity, how are you connecting your phone to home when you're out? Are you exposing HA, vpn? What sensors do you have enabled in the companion app? Do you have high accuracy enabled? How's your battery drain?
I use Nginx ProxyPass to expose HA. I know people who use the VPN feature of their internet routers.
But I myself just have a few sensors activated in the companion app.
