On: Tell HN: Google forces location history be turned ...

[emilburzo]

I never liked the realtime location sharing apps/feature built into other apps, they all had one or more of these issues:

- requires accounts / linking to accounts

- has time limit

- can't adjust location provider / update frequency

- no public urls / requires app also for the viewer

- public urls that could be guessed

- built only with driving in mind

So, (shameless plug) I made my own privacy conscious real-time location sharing Android app:

- https://graticule.link/ (tracking page demo)

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emilburzo....

Is it opensource? I've been looking for a location tracker to use for my family that isn't storing our locations on the side.

It isn't
