Finding your friends with Google Latitude (available by country)

Google Latitude™ user location service lets you and your friends share locations and status messages with each other. It also lets you send instant messages and emails, make phone calls, and get directions to your friends’ locations.

Your location is not shared automatically. You must join Latitude, and then invite your friends to view your location or accept their invitations.

Joining Latitude

1.While viewing a map, press MENU and then tap Join Latitude.

2.Read the privacy policy. If you agree with it, tap Agree & share.

After you join Latitude, you can start sharing your locations with your friends. Only friends that you have explicitly invited or accepted can see your location.
