Google Latitude
The Walkthrough
Before you start using your Latitude enabled device, you need to add some friends whom you would like to share your location with. If you are a gmail user, your contacts will appear in the list from which you can select. THere is also provision for manual entering. Once the setup is complete and friends are selected, you can view the location of your friends in the form of avatars in gmail overlayed on a map. This part can be integrated with your iGoogle account also.
For your friends you can either share your location automatically or set manually whenever required. You can also hide yourself. This solves the privacy problem.
