I asked on Mastodon but no one seems to know so I thought I’d ask here as well.
I’m looking for an app that provides the same or similar functionality to Life360 but instead of using Google/Apple map data it uses OpenStreetMap data. Does this even exist?
Maybe ask on !privacy@lemmy.ml
I didn’t even think of that. I’ll post there now. Thanks!
What is the functionality you are after as I am not familiar with aforementioned app?
As far as I know, it’s mainly for tracking the location of family members who are also on the app and who have approved sharing location with you.
I used PhoneTrack for NextCloud + the f-droid app long ago. I remember setting it up as a bit painful, but maybe it has improved. Judging by the screenshots it uses OSM.

I’ve never used it, but there’s a location sharing plugin for OsmAnd that shares location via Telegram:
Unlike Osmand itself, the Osmand Tracker app is not open-source. While that’s not a quality the OP asked for, I think it is important to note in this context.
Also, I found that Osmand Tracker drains your battery like crazy, but ymmv.
