Need a Locator App

I'm planning a trip to a very remote location in the Pawnee National Grasslands for stargazing. The area does have cell service however. Some other family members will be driving up separately. I'm worried about them being able to find me. Is there a cell phone app that will show them my location on a map and direct them on how to get to me? Thanks for your help.

    there is an app called "my tracks" which tracks your position and can upload the data

    but with out cell service i don't know how you can upload that map info or any other cellphone info or how they can access it

    a locater app won't do any good, if your phone and their phones cannot get a signal
