Suddenly sending 'my location in SMS'

[FractalSphere]

Twin Sprint stock LG G3's (wife and I) and both have spontaneously sent "my location" messages via SMS to a couple people when we most certainly DID NOT WANT TO DO THIS. I've searched and found nothing to stop (but plenty to enable) sending of location - it's been mostly in G+ (disabled), Hangouts (disabled), and settings (I use GPS and wifi, but no settings to stop or start auto-sending location).

If we ask "where are you?" in hangouts (gchat) it will prompt to share a location, but we just opt not to. The auto-sending via text is a problem though.

What do you think could be causing this and what is the solution, please?

EDIT: The main issue happened when I called my mothers land line and it sent a "my location" web link text to her cellphone. WTF would cause that??

Thanks!

What ROM/ software are you using? I have a feeling it may be the sprint software interfering. Also, what was the location link? Like g.co(google) or a sprint link or something else

It's stock, Android 5.0.1, Software version LS990ZVE.

The link that showed up is "My Location(accurate to 21 yards) http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&geocode=q=(and then lat/long coordinates)"

I'd like to stress this is NEW behavior. And hardly consistent. I'd love to root this phone, I have rooted several others I've had but got tired of managing my device to that degree.

Have you tried clearing data to all play services/google stuff? If your device is completely stock, then I would contact google right away.
