My wife and I travel a lot and mostly alone for business and use Uber most of the time. We always check out the Uber to be sure that it is the real car. BUT... with the uptick in predators and another person(s) gone missing in the D.R., we reviewed our personal security precautions that are easy to find via Google.
We took less then 5 minutes last night and set our cell phones to "sharing you location" using Google maps. It is global and as long as there is a signal and the phone is on will tell my wife where I am or the last location and mine to her. We BOTH show up on Google maps now or I can find her on a separate app. map.
We laughed at how easy this was and wondered why we didn't have it last year when we got separated at Miami airport and my phone service wound not work. She now says that know way can I get away with anything; our credit cards notify each of us every time they are used and now I cann't even walk down the street. I replied with... she will have to be more careful on those "business trips"? (easy to turn off the locator or just turn off your phone... ummm? Where were you?) lol.
Easy to set up an use. Nice to have another layer of security.
