I was hoping to find something more specific by posting here.
We drive across some pretty remote places, sometimes alone, so it would be more helpful to have a solution that periodically pings (hopefully automatically) and somehow shares with selected individuals.
Good question since I didn’t specify. I would prefer periodic tracking at some configurable interval, but I actually really appreciate all the answers because to be honest I had not even considered things like sending my location in Signal or the other one shot approaches.
I like Maple Mono https://github.com/subframe7536/maple-font
This looks to be exactly what I was imagining. Thanks for the suggestion!
