Any alternatives to Life360/FindMy?
The only private alternatives are going to be self hosted and will require some technical skill. See owntracks for details.

Self-hosted Google timeline alternative
I use Owntracks.

Trying to make a pair of compasses that always point to each other
On your side, you need some way to be tracked. Easy solution is an app on your phone, I like OwnTracks as a privacy-respecting option.

I want more people to know about Obtainium.
It also allows me to keep Owntracks checked for updates while they sort out their current issue regarding being missing from F-Droid.
- Google maps tracking alternative

What are your top self hosted services that you are very satisfied with ?
I also use OwnTracks on my phone and installed OwnTracks Recorder on my server. I skimmed over my blog post for that but I don't think there's much useful for you there.

Self Hosted Kids Smartwatch Service/Tracker
You could look into OwnTracks. Not sure if it'll fit your use case fully, but it does allow multiple clients / devices to be listed.

OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
An alternative is the Overland app for iOs [1] or Android [2], logging to compass [3]
Each has features that the other doesn't: OwnTracks can apparently determine a location using iBeacons, whereas Overland can't (though it can detect WiFi networks). Overland lets you record your mode of travel (e.g., driving, cycling, walking), whereas this still seems to be an unimplemented "idea" for OwnTracks [4]. Compass is also designed for tracking a single person, whereas OwnTrack can handle multiple.

The ownTracks docs for beacons is at [1,2], whereas there an open issue on the Overland repo suggesting something similar [3].
I think that getting a location [4] and detecting the presence and proximity of beacons [5] use different parts of the Core Location API.

The new warrant: how US police mine Google for your location and search history
There is an open source iOS app called Overland[0] that can continuously track your location history in the background and upload the data to an arbitrary endpoint as GeoJSON.
The "protocol" consists of a single HTTP request and response, so you can easily write your own server software to store the data however you want, which is what I did.
If you don't want to write your own backend, you can also just use the server software[1] the author of the app uses, which is also open source.
What are some alternatives?
gpslogger - :satellite: Lightweight GPS Logging Application For Android.
UnifiedNlp - Alternative network location provider for Android, with plugin interface to easily integrate third-party location providers.
OwnTracks Recorder - Store and access data published by OwnTracks apps
Orion - Robust web visualization tool for OwnTracks location data
hardened_malloc - Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.
