Has anyone used this Check In feature?  I just found out about it.

No. Wasn't aware of it. Probably would have used it when the kids
were younger. Not sure I'd have much for it now, however, good to
know about it.  Thanks!

I can see using it when my SO travels on business.  She drives through
a few long stretches with nothing but rocks, lakes and Christmas
trees.  Nice to know she arrives okay (she usually texts) so the
absence of an automated check-in would get me in gear.

A few years ago she had a car accident.  Thankfully no injuries (other
than pride - she was looking to the side at something along the
highway). She called me.  But could have been a case where she would
not be able to call me... I drove out to pick her up.

Yep. That's one of the primary use cases for it that interests me.

The trolls here bitching and moaning about this feature have no
imagination - but what's new?
