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.

It also allows me to keep Owntracks checked for updates while they sort out their current issue regarding being missing from F-Droid.

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.
