In the past, I used to slip an old I-Phone inside my golf cart when my mother-in-law traveled by herself and used the location finder app to at least track the golf cart when she traveled solo.
My wife believes this is an invasion of privacy and I believe its a safety issue.
Any suggestion to convince my wife ?

Unless your mother-in-law sneaks off to secret assignations or spends her days drinking in cheap bars, I think she would welcome this, but you do need to tell her first. There are plenty of places where people can lose their bearings in various villages. It would be nice for her to know that if she doesn’t come home, you will be able to track the cart with ease. If she has dementia and wanders off, she may need one on a bracelet or necklace. Perhaps they will soon be implantable. If you keep it in your golf cart all the time, perhaps you wouldn’t even need to tell her, and then after your own long night of drinking and dancing in the square, it will be easier for you to find your cart with the help of your iPhone. That is, if you haven’t lost your iPhone.
