Google Software Tracks Mobile Users on Maps
By
Today, Google introduced Latitude, a new opt-in feature that lets smartphone and laptop users share their location with friends and allows those friends to share their locations in return. Once you and your friends have opted in to Latitude, you can see your friends’ Google icon displayed on Google Maps. Pretty cool if it works.
Users in 27 countries will be able to broadcast their location to others constantly, using Google Latitude. Controls allow users to select who receives the information or to go offline at any time, Google said on its Web site.
