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 ?

There have been several tracking devices on market for years. What big deal about Apple? O it cost more, so that must make it better? It’s personnel choice, going on forum asking like last place to ask. That question for family discussion.
