This requires a server that receives the devices locations and publishes them to all other devices.
It can be done with B4J WebSockets server, but it requires a complete solution.

I already have the locations, I just need to know how to display them on the map or any website to see the methods or documentation of the library?

You can use Map.AddMarker to add markers.

I understand correctly, how can I center the map on that marker so that when opening the activity, it shows the area corresponding to the map where the marker is located? Is it possible to center the map or initialize the map in that corresponding area?

Check MoveCamera or AnimateCamera methods.

?
this preserves the camera properties and only moves to the marker position

B4X:

    Dim CameraPosition1 As CameraPosition = GoogleMaps1.CameraPosition
    Dim NewCameraPosition As CameraPosition
    NewCameraPosition.Initialize2(MarkerIconLocation.Position.Latitude, MarkerIconLocation.Position.Longitude, CameraPosition1.Zoom, CameraPosition1.Bearing, CameraPosition1.Tilt)
    GoogleMaps1.AnimateCamera(NewCameraPosition)
