Speed Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Launched yesterday, Google Latitude transmits the user's location back to Google for display using the service's online maps.http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/158975/spy_on_your_workers_with_google_latitude.htmlWhat's the fascination with posting your whole life online ? I can see where a business could have an interest in keeping track of assets - but beyond that, it seems to0 big bother-like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're meeting up with your buddies. You can all share your locations on Latitude. Then instead of trying to find a meeting point or "do you see the big sign that says blah blah", you just fire up Latitude on your Blackberry, Palm, whatever and find them. Pretty sweet actually.

Dweezel Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 That's def cool, they've already got a GPS tracking app for the iPhone and I plan on setting it or this up for the cross country trip on the bike so the kids, and the female, can see where I'm at on our trip, although the kids will find it much more amusing than she will LOL. OR.net could also track out trip in real time too, that might be something cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 OR.net could also track out trip in real time too, that might be something cool!I've been playing around with that idea. I've got a "semi"-working version. We'll call it alpha. Once I have it to beta, I'll release it for everyone to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I've been playing around with that idea. I've got a "semi"-working version. We'll call it alpha. Once I have it to beta, I'll release it for everyone to try out.Now that would be cool!I'd love it for my wife to be able to log onto the site and see where I are at any given moment on bike trips.Gotta figure out a way to make all titty bars appear as "dead" zones though...

Uncle Punk Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Going on a ride today, let's see how this works. I think Latatude works through IGoogle. Friend me UnclePunk183 @ gmail . com. At some point I will try to accept the request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
