Cell phone tracking

As I really have no concerns about being spied upon, I make sure that both my and DWs cell phones have GPS tracking turned on and enabled at all times. When we are traveling, we realize that if anything happens, no one, especially family or friends, would even know where we are, or be able to locate us. With the tracking on, and the mobile locate enabled, our family can find the most recent location of our phones, and hopefully, us. The added benefit is that I can locate my phone if it is lost or stolen, and can disable or clear all data on it if needed.
  • The issue is not being able to find one's family; it is being able to find you if something happens to you and you are unable to communicate to the outside.
  • I have an ID in my wallet and if anything happens to me/us my family will be found. If nothing happens to me they don't need to know where we are. My phone has no GPS nor does it need one, maps still work fine.
