I've used it in the past when travelling abroad so family members can keep track of where I am. Like the OP, I don't use google, because of the creepiness of it all, but hosted my own as uploaded kml files. I set up a GPS logger to save my pos every 1/2 hour or so to keep battery usage light.

Which GPS logger do you use? I tried a few, but they were all a pain. I'm primarily interested in tagging photos of my cameras that don't have their own GPS.

If you can find an apk I'm using Backitude (gaugler.backitude), notable for using location 'steals' when some other app gets location rather than directly querying on its own. I just have it write to a kml file locally, and another program syncs that folder to cloud storage 2x daily.
It's also capable of pinging a url with location data if you prefer.
Edit: this may be interesting from someone else actively using it for their own tracking and reporting (includes parsing scripts) https://petermolnar.net/location-tracking-without-server/
