An Android device can not help you in an emergency if it breaks or the
battery is dead.

Therefore do not go alone!

You can share your location on Google Maps with another user either for
a limited time period or until you turn off this option again:

<https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7326816?hl=en>

Besides that, OSMAnd also supports location sharing.

<https://osmand.net/docs/user/plugins/osmand-tracker/>

Regardless which solution you use - the other person also needs Google
Maps or OSMAnd to view your current location.

But keep in mind that having GPS enabled all the time and sending
location updates drains your battery quite fast. So also keep a big
power bank with you. Also keep in mind that the device can fail and/or
batteries can get empty.

Therefore do not go alone!
