The dashboard tile shows the user's location on a static Google Map image
clicking on the tile shows an embedded Google Map

You can also create a homescreen widget out of any Life360 device
Google provides developers an API key to both create static maps as well as use embedded maps. There's a limit however to how many maps can be created every month - once that limit is reached the API will stop working for the rest of the month.
