Do you know of a way to share your location with family members. I currently use Google maps because my family has both Android and iOS devices so preferably something cross platform. Thanks for your help.

HomeAssistant, it has a “companion app” for android and ios. Once the app is installed on everyone’s phone you can see real time the device location.
More info on history and path tracking as well.

Depending on your selfhosting skills you can either choose to put your homeassistant behind your own website, or you can use the integrated cloud service provided by NabuCasa for a small monthly fee.
I’ve never gotten this to work with iOS devices for several years now. Yes, I’ve made sure that background app refresh is permitted, location services are on, etc.
That’s weird. My wife uses an iPhone and it works flawlessly, and I don’t think any specific configuration was required.
