Viewing your friends’ locations

You can view your friends’ locations on a map or in a list.

When you open Maps, your friends’ locations are shown. Each friend is represented by their picture (from Contacts) with an arrow pointing to their approximate location. If a friend has chosen to share city-level locations, their picture does not have an arrow and appears in the middle of the city.

To see a friend’s profile and connect, tap the photo. Your friend’s name appears in a balloon. Tap the balloon to open a screen with details about your friend and many connection options.

When you open Latitude you see a list of your Latitude friends, with a summary of their last known locations, status, and so on. Tap a friend in the list to open a screen with details about the friend and many connection options.
