iOS (and android?) have the option to only share gps while the app is running. so for the taxi app example you're sharing no more info than you need to really.

iOS (and android?) have the option to only share gps while the app is running. so for the taxi app example you're sharing no more info than you need to really. turn it on, call a cab, cab arrives, close app. The only info shared is your pick up location. Of course the cab itself could share your destination but I don't see how you'd prevent that as that info is also relevant to the taxi

That doesn't solve the problem that Google still constantly knows where I am (as long as my OS is Android). Wasn't there an article hinting that our smartphones even track GPS when it's disabled? Also, I'm quite surprised to live in a time where having to manually type an address is considered a problem.
