After the ski trip, Joe wants to stop sending his location
 to Bob.  First he browses to the share by clicking on
Bob in his contacts. He sees the Vacation share,
and can click on it to view the details of the share.  
He can then delete it either directly from the
details view, or by returning to the listing screen
and selecting it from there.

consistent (the minus symbol) with other
mobile apps.

how to navigate through the steps
described.

the pre-defined settings can
