This is a huge no from me. My SO doesn't need my location, and sharing it has a lot of potential downsides, like:
There's a lot of potential downside and the upside is... my SO knows when I'm almost home?
Yeah, no. Maybe I'll share if I'm doing something risky like hiking alone, but that's never staying on constantly.
Call me old school but I just text my SO when I am almost home.
My route has pretty much no stoplights, so there's not really an opportunity to text. But I send a text when I leave and if I'm delayed (i.e. I'll have an opportunity to text).
It works well.
