Hello everybody,

I go in bike alone and I would know if there is any app - possibly open source - that allows to my wife to track my position wherever I am when I’m riding.

Thanks in advance

    Other than the partial open-source Telegram, none of the suggestions you made are even remotely acceptable if you care about privacy. And with Telegram it is unclear what their servers do with the location data.

    And yes there are FOSS alternatives that work well and are privacy respecting.

      Yes I know they are not privacy friendly. But these are convenient to use. There is also nothing to set up. Setting up a server for running a location tracking app seems like a lot of work. His wife just wants to know his location.

        To be fair, OP wasn’t specifically asking for an open-source solution. Providing commercial answers isn’t wrong and is helpful.
