Seems like the underlying tension is wether being surveiled at all is inherently a violation.

If it is, then your partner doing it might feel like a lack of trust.

for my benefit Its not a benefit if you don't like being tracked

If not, then it's just a practical tool, might as well use the data if it's getting captured anyway.

    surveiled

    surveillance implies active, constant, and surreptitious… i would not classify mutual location sharing as any of that: it’s passive, occasional, and well-known and consented to by both parties

    If you're doing this through Google or whichever company is facilitating, then I would say that's the party doing all of the things listed.

    But yes, I presented it in the context of just the two parties, so your point is still valid

    NO surveillance is truly constant, that would defeat the point of surveillance which is to create the ever present possibility that someone is watching so you begin to subconciously assume you are always being watched.
