DeltaChat(and ArcaneChat client) have a location sharing feature.
May only have a timeframe of 5min-6hours though.

Thank you! I'll check it out. Wouldn't be my first choice to do it with a messaging app, but if the other solutions won't work then I'll definitely use that.

Looks like SMSLoc can remote query the location of a friend, using SMS as a transport.
I have not tried this one.
It appears you can whitelist certain phone numbers to query your location.

So i suppose it's not encrypted? But thanks i'll check this out!

Yes, not encrypted, straight cleartext SMS.
You could possible hack the code to add a strong crypto wrapper to the data stream.

I never thought of linking the .xyz top-level domain to location. I guess you can tell it's a... nice move

Thanks a lot!

Not bad. Which is saying something about a Google Play-distributed app.

An option is to use the E2E chat application Jami; there are mobile and desktop clients, and one feature is location sharing. You can enable it for ranges of time up to an hour, after which it disables itself again.
Jami ftw 💪
