It's an app. You could attach an air tag or tile I suppose if you don't want an app

I think there is a setting on Google maps for tracking a phone?

If something was precise enough that could guide folk to the correct aisle in the supermarket I'd sure like one installed on my woman's mobile. I just have to stop and check a product and when I look up, she's disappeared somewhere ! Then it's up & down & up & down & ..... trying to find her.

Here's how to set up Google Maps location sharing:
-Open the Google Maps app on his phone.
-Tap his profile icon (usually his picture or initial) in the top right corner.
-Select Location sharing.
-Tap Share location.
-Choose how long to share his location (e.g., "Until you turn this off" or for a specific time).
-In the "Share with" section, select your contact information. If you are not in his contacts, tap "More options" and enter your phone number or email address.
-Tap Share. You will receive a notification in Google Maps letting you know he has started sharing his location with you.
An alternative option is the Built-in Phone Feature. Android and iOS have built-in "Find My" features (Find My Device for Android, Find My iPhone for iOS) that track a phone's location.
Consider the person's privacy and talk with them about tracking their phone, regardless of the method used.
