It's inevitable that the forthcoming iOS version will require location history to be turned on for one's Google account. Therefore, I'd much prefer another cross-platform means of providing this information.
Owntracks hasn't been too bad for this; there are clients for iOS and Android and the the backend is self-hosted.
The only problem I've encountered with it is that the Android client has shown some instability from time to time, with high battery drain or missed location updates.
