Google Releases Google Latitude for iPhone and iPod Touch as a Web Application
Do you like this story?
Yesterday, Google Mobile Blog announced the availability of its news Google Latitude for iPhone and iPod touch as a web application. It is a good web application running in Safari, but we would be confused somehow.
According Google Mobile Blog:
We worked closely with Apple to bring Latitude to the iPhone in a way Apple thought would be best for iPhone users. After we developed a Latitude application for the iPhone, Apple requested we release Latitude as a web application in order to avoid confusion with Maps on the iPhone, which uses Google to serve maps tiles.Here are some highlights of what Google Latitude can do:
Share locations: Location sharing starts only when both you and a friend agree. Invite friends via email or easily add them from your Gmail contacts.
Contact your friends: Quickly contact your friends with an SMS, IM, or phone call. You can also get directions to lead you to your friends.
Control privacy: You can share, set, hide your location - or sign out of Google Latitude - from the privacy menu. You can also hide your location or share only a city-level location with certain friends.
