Share my location is exactly that. Your cell phone know where you are using GPS, it then ‘share’s that location with another cell phone. IOW, share your location uses a cooperating cell phone for location. Tracking a cell phone location uses cell phone tower data to locate a cell phone. It isn’t a cooperative process. Different processes, different accuracies. Still, it’s BS to say that cell phone location using towers is only accurate to 9 square miles.
