Safety concerns aside, you should trust your partner enough to not need to track them

For me, knowing my spouse’s location is just convenient for knowing ETA without bothering her. It’s not really about trust at all

Same. We both follow each other and neither of us care. We mostly have it enabled for the “just in case” scenario that anything happens to one of us. We can make sure that we know of our last known location.

I’ve also had her use it one time I was away from home in NYC. And I was too drunk to figure out which subway to take to get back to my hotel. So she walked me through step by step while on the phone with me. It fucking rocked.
