Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

For now, I can only share my location with a link that needs to be sent to another application. This link contains coordinates without real time location updates.

Describe the ideal solution

I would like to be able to share my location in real time using Organic Maps with a setting of duration (hour, day, until turned off). It would also be great to include notifications of arrival and departure from the selected locations.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Now I have to use Google Maps to share location in real time. Here is a video showing how to set up this function.

Additional context

Unfortunately Google (and Apple) are notorious for their bad privacy policies. Organic Maps is positioned as privacy-respecting offline maps. Adding one online feature will increase end-user privacy because only convenient and easy alternatives are Apple Maps and Google Maps as far as I know.
