Location Share vs Nextcloud Maps Geobookmarks
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Location Share
Location Share is a simple Android application that allows you to share your current location. Location Share doesn't require setting up an account, doesn't track your location in the background, doesn't auto-share it, and doesn't send it to anyone except those you explicitly tell it to. It can share your location using any application that supports sharing plain text. This includes (but isn't limited to) sharing via SMS, email, social networks, note taking applications, etc. Simply launch the application and wait until the device homes in on your location. You'll then have the option to view the location on a map, share it, or copy it to the clipboard.
Nextcloud Maps Geobookmarks
UNOFFICIAL and FOSS Nextcloud Maps client. Shows your Nextcloud Maps geofavorites in a list or a map. Geofavorites can be opened in all apps supporting geo links (i.e. Google Maps, Organic Maps etc...). A new geofavorite can be created on current location, by sharing a "geo:" uri from another app or manually picking from the map. Requires Maps app to be installed on the Nextcloud instance. As per Nextcloud's guidelines, the login is implemented using Nextcloud's Single Sign On module and thus requires Nextcloud app installed.
