How many abused spouses would even have a clue on how to set that up?

My wife's iPhone is easy to track from any browser of any device. For
 example I sometimes use this Amazon Fire tablet I'm posting with to check
 on her location when she's late getting home. Course I do have the account
 password since I've always controlled the family electronics. And I suspect
 an abusive spouse could easily do the same thing, no fancy-dancy
 electronics or tracking experience needed...
