Google has just launched its newest app Google Latitude (just launched as still awaiting app for iphone/touch). It looks like a cross between Twitter with status updates and real-time GPS positioning.
Latitude allows you to follow your friends and view their status where ever they are.
Latitude has 4 standard privacy settings:
Detect your location ( your location is updated automatically )
Set your location ( manually set your location )
Hide your location ( just what it sounds like )
Turn off Latitude
Google Latitude is a feature of Google Maps for mobile on these phones:
- Android-powered devices, such as the T-Mobile G1
- iPhone and iPod touch devices (coming soon)
- most color BlackBerry devices
- most Windows Mobile 5.0+ devices
- most Symbian S60 devices (Nokia smartphones)
- many Java-enabled (J2ME) mobile phones, such
as Sony Ericsson devices (coming soon)
