Fuck all that.
If you can't trust me and need to track my movements, we have much bigger problems. Phone tracks my shit enough as it is. Don't need any more of it. |

Burner phones aren’t hard to obtain or conceal. If someone wants to cheat, having their location available isn’t going to prevent anything. |

My wife wanted it mainly to keep track of her in case something happened. There are tones
on the phone that indicate starting and stopping. Even the dog has picked up on that. He gets excited when he knows she will walk through the door.

My buddy had that life360 on his phone and his ol' lady tracked him. A couple times he rode his crotch rocket to work, then on the way home, hit the highway and opened it up. She was not thrilled to pop open the tracker and see it pegged at whatever the max speed is. It wasn't long after that, he stopped riding his bike to work.

I never go anywhere that I care if my wife knows I'm at, so I wouldn't bother me all that much, depending on why she wanted it.
If it's for convenience and planning, ect. that's fine. If it's because "I'm nuts and have to know where you are 24/7", then no. (and you have FAR bigger issues than her wanting to track you) The wife's job has her on the go a lot. Tracking on her phone would be useful, to a certain extent, due to that. Otherwise, I don't really care to know where she is 24/7, either. I generally know anyways. |

My significant other and I both have tracking enabled on our IPhones, for each other.
Benefits: I can see how far she is from home, so I can be ready to help with unpacking stuff like groceries, as well as opening the front gate for her, when she arrives. I can see when she arrives and leaves potentially risky activities, like picking up rent or meeting people If she has an accident, I can see which hospital they are taking her to (this has happened 2x) She can do the same for me. Ex, she knows exactly where I am if hunting, in case I fall out of a tree or get hurt It will help us know each others last position, in the event of grid/comms/SHTF issues Negatives: Everything is already tracked, whether you agree to it or not. I trust my SO, and vice versa. I don't care where she is, as long as she's safe. I have nothing to hide from her, other than my browser history, which is for her own protection and plausible deniability. |

I acquiesced to it when i started riding again. She has always been terrified of my bikes, and I gave them up for a few years when we had little ones around.
It seems to calm her anxiety to be able to pull up FindMy and see if I'm still moving or not. I'll use it from time to time to see if they are on their way home from town yet so i can start the grill. |

It's gross. We're appalled at how many of our friends track each other. We didn't track our kids when they were in school - they're decent human beings and we didn't want them to grow up with mom and dad always watching their every move. They needed to learn their lessons and work things out on their own.
This Orwellian bullshit is just another harbinger of the demise of our society. Everyone wants to be everybody elses keeper. There are days when I just want to head out and get lost on my motorcycle. I don't want anyone calling saying, "What are you doing there?" If my wife needs to get ahold of me she can call. |

Ironic that not only did we learn nothing from Snowden but we decided we don't need government to track each other because that's a job we will do ourselves.
Not that it even really matters anymore. I had this video come up in my suggestions a while back. Watch around 30ish mins to see the FBI zoom 350% into a security cam to show exactly how the crime played out. The previous 30 shows the exact movements downtown of the victims and perps as they are on a collision course to the shooting.  FBI's full video timeline released on the double fatal shooting outside the Altria Theater in June Point being that as soon as the public became ok with sharing every detail of their lives, suddenly strapping a GPS to yourself 24/7 didn't seem that odd. Tracking your spouses every movement is odd. It's creepy and stalkerish unless the person specifically asks you to watch them because their doing something dangerous IE: a night hike alone. Those who say "but I'm not doing anything wrong so she's not gonna see anything" miss the point. It's the same as the police saying "hur durr if your innocent what do you have to worry about". |

It better go both ways. If they both can track each other and thats what they want I don't see the issue.
