Recommend stable gps tracker for android smartphone

After several painful days of searching for a stable gps tracker for an Android smartphone, I am asking a question here.
I tried about a dozen trackers from play.google.com, none of them worked consistently. Although the requirements for the program are minimal: it is desirable to work on the accelerometer sensor, send coordinates to any server and the ability to view the location on the map on the Internet at any time.
It was not possible to connect the new NIKA-tracker service in MTS, MTS employees do not even know about its existence.
Does anyone use any stable service for tracking the movement of objects (based on a smartphone with Android OS)?
PS Is it really necessary to learn Android programming in order to track a child in the 21st century?

As far as I understand, you need not so much a tracker as the ability to monitor the child.
This will probably help you. www.google.com/android/devicemanager

I use the Google application " My tracks "
According to the accelerometer, the recording does not turn on.
Account synchronization is enabled on the device, so after recording a track, it flies into “My disk-> My tracks”
And by clicking on the link of the track, you can see it on the map.

Of all the things that I shoveled on the Play Market, Live turned out to be the most normal, not to be confused with life360
compared like batteries (I put several similar life360s in parallel, where my children are, etc.) + I looked at the functionality, there are no analogues at all

used life360, well, in reality the price does not correspond to the functions you pay for, plus this subscription from which you will later unsubscribe from hell, switched to Live

After Live reduced the price to 30 rubles / month, I switched completely to them, in terms of functionality it is definitely in the first place, there are not even close analogues, all functions can be viewed at https://wiki.antlive.org
Sometimes there are comments on them, but as a rule, they rule promptly through a cart.

the only normal working is:
live
the rest either costs sky-high money or nothing works

The only thing that I found normal after blocking payments to Google is Live, where payments through Yandex
actually only learned about it from this forum, the problem is relevant to mine, so try it:

My application is designed for carriers to display on the map the nearest to call, but if you remove the "Public" checkbox, then you will not be in the search results, but you will see your object.

Tried many different GPS trackers for android. Everything is not right. Either the accuracy is low, then there are no notifications. Recently, another application I'm Ok Mama appeared in the market, I installed it until everything suits. Several times a day I receive SMS notifications that my child has come or gone to school and home. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com....

I'm also worried about the baby. He is still a baby, but then what to do? Of course, I would prefer an implant for a child, but so far this is not realistic. Smarfon fell off immediately. It can be stolen, thrown away, etc. I saw the key fobs, but the radius of the bluetooth is not great - it disappeared. I settled on relatively inconspicuous, wearable devices. Clock. Here are examples goo.gl/5cIY58 (link to aliexpress).
I haven't ordered yet, but I definitely will.
PS: The question has been asked for over two years. Maybe you already found a solution?

I began to use the family gps locator "My Family". Tried different ones - this one is the best! Simple. Free. Without advertising. Plus, it's cross-platform.
