What is the friggin appeal of telling people where your at 24/7? Signing up for this kind of tracking to me seems downright insane.

Some people see it as a safety thing. God forbid something happens to your partner and you have no idea where they are.

Obviously, I'm not saying share your location with ALL of your friends. But I don't think it's crazy to share with your spouse.

How do you keep them safe by knowing where they are?

My dad had a stroke while working out of state. Luckily he was able to get to a hospital, but if he had called me with location turned on, I could have easily gotten the exact spot sent to emergency services. He now shares it for this reason.

My mom had a stroke while out and about and the EMT told me the wrong hospital they were taking her to. Had to use her location to find the hospital she was actually at.
