Google latitude

mooneyd

Anyone use it?
Im finding it pretty cool, I gotta say

generalmiaow

Yeah sort of but there's not many people to see! Just one other person in Ireland and a friend in Germany. So it doesn't come in handy at all, and knowing where the other people are feels like stalking them.

There's a thing called Glympse which gives anyone you want a short term view of your location which make a lot more sense (but I haven't used it)

Have had it on the Gogle Maps on my Nokia for a while. None of my other GTalk contacts realy use it though although they have occasionally used it to check where I am up to if I'm late to meet them but they haven't shared their locations so it makes for a pretty lonely map.

Iv got 10 or 11 inc 2 staff on it and im liking it

Latitude will become deadly when I'm meeting up with friends in town - no need to keep ringing where they are now.... It also saves me having the OH constantly ringing me up asking where I am when driving home from down the country.

mooneyd

is it only on android for now or is on the likes of symbian?

robinph

It's been on any phone that has a version of Google Maps fo ages now, well over a year I've had it available on my Symbian Nokia anyway.

mooneyd

Oh first time I spotted it (then again I only found out what it was)
Anyone care to share?

Nice boss :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I just put latitude on, a mate of mine is on it too, it's freakin me the fcuk out

mooneyd

HA.... If you go to settings you can do the following;

• show best location (exactly where you are if satnav is on)
• Show where you are by your nearest mast
• Show what town your in
• Set your location (ie your home, work etc.)
• hide your location

I've used Android to race people to destinations when we're headed through Dublin on different modes of transport.
