Way back in the early-ish days of iPhone (around the 4 and 4s), I created an app called TenTwenty.

It allowed you to quickly and easily share your location with anyone. Also gave weather conditions at said location and nearby landmarks to look for in order to help find it. Worked cross platform as well.

Everyone who used it thought it was great. However, not a whole lot of people used it. Originally sold it for 99 cents and eventually switched to a free, ad-based version.

Made about $1000 in total over a couple years and pulled it from the app store once Apple implemented pin drops and location sharing natively.
