Ever wanted to fix an error in Google Maps? Google Map Maker is now available for the US. Check it out. Official Google Blog: See where your friends are with Google LatitudeLatitude is a new feature for Google Maps on your mobile device. It's also an iGoogle gadget on your computer. Once you've opted in to Latitude, you can see the approximate location of your friends and loved ones who have decided to share their location with you. So now you can do things like see if your spouse is stuck in traffic on the way home from work, notice that a buddy is in town for the weekend, or take comfort in knowing that a loved one's flight landed safely, despite bad weather.I've been toying with GPS apps on my iPhone that show my location on a website. It can be fun if I'm going to visit someone out of town for them to be able to see how close I am, etc. I definitely see the privacy concerns with this type of thing, but it seems that Google has addressed them--how effectively remains to be seen. It's not out for iPhone yet, but when it does, I'll give it a try. Sprint had an option that allowed parents to pay a monthly fee to be able to locate their kid's phone (and the kid, if he/she had the phone with him/her,) but I never had a chance to try that out. Personally I think that's a great idea. Not necessarily to spy on your kids (and I'm sure kids hate this feature,) but to find them if they're ever abducted. How great would it be to be able to call police and tell them exactly where your kid has been taken? When it comes out for iPhone, I'll try it out and report back. via The Official Google Blog |
