I heard a story (KGO radio) about women trying to escape an abuser being followed using the GPS in their phone. If they were on a family plan, only the person (usually the abuser) who formed it can dump you from it. There was a short segment on how to disable the GPS on the phone.

When you're trying to escape a criminal involved in your life, GPS is a double-edged sword.
