Google Latitude Launches (with bugs?)
February 4, 2009 – 9:56 am
Google Latitude, a web and mobile phone service that shows where your friends are on a map, has gone live. However, it seems to have a few kinks left in it as the above iPhone screen grab shows. Right now it doesn’t seem to work at all on my iPhone. And, even after I installed Google Gears on my iMac, Google Latitude would not detect my location automatically despite the numerous wi-fi networks around to grab my location. I had to set it manually.
