Are you a mother concerned about whereabouts of your child all the time??? Or a spouse wanting to know about your partner ??? Then “Google Latitude” might provide solution to you!!!
Hey!!! Let me make one thing clear for you…. “Google Latitude is not Spying Technology” (But can be used as one)
Google recently released new version of their mapping technology "Google Maps V 3.0" which has a new beta function “My Location”.
My Location pinpoints your location on the map and if you want can “Share” it with the people you want to. The possibilities are endless… You can use it to Socialize or on the flip side to Spy. But the spying part can be taken care by the user by choosing with whom to share your locations with. Even if you have shared your location you can personalize what others view with “Privacy Control” options like allowing google to update the location automatically or setting the location manually, hiding the location or even turning Latitude off.
Latitude currently works on Android powered devices and most BlackBerry, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Symbian S60 devices and is coming soon for iPhone, iPod touch and many Sony Ericsson devices. Latitude doesn’t need GPS compulsorily. If you have GPS enabled device it will pinpoint your location accurately but if you don’t have it, Google Maps will approximate your position based on the location of the tower you use to communicate with Google Maps via GPRS. Using GPRS to approximate your location can be a costly affaire as it is Data Heavy communication and will bite into your monthly MBs more than you think. Google itself recommends an Unlimited data plan to use Maps.
Google Latitude can be used on PC as well by adding it to your iGoogle page. You can set the location manually or allow Google to update it automatically based on the IP address or hotspot you are using.
Google Latitude is still in its Beta version and will be under improvement for time to come. Till then use it and Enjoy!!!
