To learn how to enable My location sources, refer to “Google Maps” in this chapter.

Set your location: Manually select a location on the map.

Hide yourlocation: Hide your location from all your friends. They will not be able to see your location on their maps. You can also hide your location only to certain individuals.

Turn off Latitude: Disable Latitude and stop sharing. Your friends cannot see your location. You can always join Latitude again.

Footprints

Footprints™ provides an easy way to record favorite places and revisit those places. A footprint consists of a photo you take of a location such as a restaurant or sightseeing destination stored together with a precise GPS position and other information about that location such as the street address and phone number.

The next time you want to visit the same place, simply access the footprint. You can then dial the phone number or view the location in Google Maps.
