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.

Traccar VS GPS Tracker - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 22 Dec 2023
- Replacement for Apple's FindMy?
-
Travel history as Map
I use https://www.traccar.org/ 👍
-
Mobile Application that Tracks the Location of a Vehicle
I suggest traccar - https://www.traccar.org/, open source and it's already complete with a server and web interface. Now you need a gps device, one that's supported by traccar - https://www.traccar.org/devices/. I suggest getting one that's capable of making http requests because it's easier to integrate with traccar (for this you'll need a sim card with data), compared to going with an SMS route where you need a way for your server to receive SMS texts.

Any TILE or any other tracker have an alternative foss app for tracking? (just like using gadgetbridge)
Traccar I'm not as familiar with but seems like a promising vehicular oriented one https://www.traccar.org/

Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?
Open source GPS tracking platform - Traccar (https://www.traccar.org/). I think picking a small B2B niche is the best way to become successful. You're not going to be super rich, but you can have a good stable lifestyle business.

Best free Map API or an alternative to Google Maps for a React JS project
Since your title contains "Real-time" I assume gagamit kayo ng GPS, then might I also suggest traccar, https://www.traccar.org/, complete with server and client, easily integrated with OpenStreetMap
What are some alternatives?

UnifiedNlp - Alternative network location provider for Android, with plugin interface to easily integrate third-party location providers.
Openstreetmap - The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap

Graphhopper - Open source routing engine for OpenStreetMap. Use it as Java library or standalone web server.
tailscale - The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.
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.
