I use FindMyDevice from Fdroid. I have a few contacts who can ping me with an sms text and it responds with my coordinates and a link to OSM.

The F-Droid version (which is available on IzzyOnDroid's repo) utilizes OSM. You'll need a server to sync the data to though and it likely does not have all of the features that Life360 has.
That looks interesting. I was kind of expecting that it might be challenging to find exactly what I am looking for.
They don't use the app you're asking for either.
Maybe look into Home assistant or nextcloud
True. I thought I’d do the research anyways.
