Is there a European alternative to Apple FindMy or GoogleMaps location tracking that allows you to share your location with each other?

I would be very grateful for any tips.

Matrix allows for time-based location sharing. The Element clients have it implemented.

Also Nextcloud with the Phonetrack application installed. I use the uLogger app on Android for 24x7 location recording and it uses less than 2% of the battery over a day.

Can I set the sharing to permanent?

In Element, no.

In Nextcloud, yes.
