There was this app called Location or sth., which they terminated. I did not know about the thing myself until then, but on the HN track there were quite some people declaring it being an integral part of their life. I recall clearly a man telling that he was following the position of his wife via this application, for the wife was somehow working in context of a war--a journalist or sth.--and he wanted to be able to follow her for emergency situations. And other couples who were following each other for some reason. If only I recalled the name of it... But I'm sure someone here will be able to append a link.
edit: Oh, yes, it's Latitude, and the thread I'm referring is this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6018554 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6018554
And the wife is an animal control officer. Less dramatic but equally saddening.
