A family location map on the home screen

This is not a full app so much as a window: a home-screen widget that puts the household's shared locations on a map. It reads the location data the hub already has and draws it.

It has no navigation entry of its own, because the Location page already is one. Install it and the same map appears on the dashboard, for whoever wants it there.

• Interactive map of family member locations.
• Places-only members appear pinned to the safe zone they are at, never at their own position.
• Home-screen widget only, no separate screen.
• Available to every member, not just adults — it shows exactly what the Location page already shows.
• Uses the hub's built-in location sharing.

Households already using location sharing who want it on the dashboard.

Location Map is one app in a household library, not a product built around this one job. Some apps do only this and go further. Seven family location and driving apps, by what each one is for sets them side by side, and says when one of them is the better choice.

• Family location sharing that does not turn into surveillance — Where to draw the line: opt-in sharing per person, safe zones that alert on arrival, a who's-home board, and curfews a teenager can negotiate in the app.

Location Map is one of the apps in the Chickadee Bandit library. Every household starts nearly empty and installs only what it uses; there is no per-app charge. Your data lives in your household's own private, encrypted database, with no ads and no data selling. Browse the Family apps or read the source on GitHub.
