Life360, MapTrack? (pay), Zemango, Find my Friends, Yougy, Hemisphere, Family by Sygic, https://openpaths.cc/, Glympse, swarmly, Chronos (?), Google+,
there's also lost phone appS: AndroidLost?, where's my droid, Puntalo,
i guess for me the list of feasible candidates, in descending order of popularity on Android Market:
Life360, Family by Sygic, Find my Friends nliteapps, MapTrack? (pay),
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.life360.android.safetymapd
heard that it has a 6 person limit

crashed for me. perhaps because it got stuck in 'augmented reality' mode, and my camera is broken and crashes apps that try to access it.
i rebooted then it worked. seems like a simpler version of life360.
seems good but confusing interface, so i guess i can't recommend it to non-nerdy friends who might get frustrated.
the UI is a little slow.

also saves location history
i'd be willing to pay $3 but i dunno if i'd be able to convice anyone else to...

also saves location history, but i think it locks location precision to 10 feet while recording, which probably uses a lot of battery
needed to turn sharing on manually after reboot

not compatible with my old phone
seems to be an alias for Life360 (!?!)
as of this writing, not available yet
has 'auto-respond to update location requests' option
heard that you have to constantly send requests or queries
didn't try it but i don't see a share with friends option in the description
heard that it has too many social features
i tried Google+ Locations first but my wife hit the bug described by JoAnn? Brereton on this page: https://plus.google.com/+GoogleMaps/posts/D4HkuvisrPY
found a fix at http://www.pocketables.com/2013/07/root-user-fix-for-google-locations-blank-tilesmissing-maps.html (or https://plus.google.com/109052420587654093130/posts/Rzg2aL4wpi5 ) but it requires a rooted phone and she has a stock install.
