Google Latitude for iPhone Review
If you’re looking for friends, Google Latitude can help. It helps people find each other in the real world to network the old-fashioned way: face to face. When you and your friends sign in, Latitude’s zoomable map displays icons showing everyone’s location. You can quickly cycle from friend to friend with a tap, and tapping a friend’s icon reveals contact info, directions, and more.
What’s a little stalking between friends?
Privacy preferences—like allowing people to see your exact location, only your current city, or not at all—can be set globally or case by case (great for when the in-laws are in town). Locations update as you check in with the app, or continuously in the background. But we wish Latitude did more, like in-app messaging.
