One thing if you are squeeky clean. Another if you are being tracked or you are a member of anything the Gov is querrying about. Its very very dangerous to get yourself tracked. You are basically opening up yourself to everyone who can look for you, even the FBI or any other entity. This also works on wifi. I guess google or someone goes out and maps the latitude and longitude of wireless access points and it will display your location that way.
It's pretty accurate also, to within meters. I was surprised to find that they had mapped the Wifi in my neighborhood.

Hey RYAN,you gat a nice posts here. But I have this question. Is this whole thing dependent on ones geographical area? I'm commenting from nigeria. So is it really possible here? Try mr tracker from mrxsystem. I've been using it for work purposes for atleast 3 months now. Thanks for a great article, I just wanted to let you know that Microsoft has a similar technology, that lets you find your laptop anywhere on Microsoft's Virtual Earth, its called Microsoft Location Finder. Note that this does not need any mobile connectivity, just the Wi-Fi capabilty of your laptop, and it will post the location of your laptop.
I did a detailed article on this, if you are interested please have a look at: For some reason I left out the URL in the previous post, here it is again indiawebsearch. Ryan morning no I have no comment.
I have another problem. I am trying to find the location of where my son is at this stage. We have some difficulties in the past and he left our town without any notification a year ago. It start working on his mother and I have no answer for her. AlI have is a cell number. How can I find his location just to show to her okay he is there. Yes - if you go to the Google page listed in this article, there's an online map associated with your account. You can set your current location manually using that map so that even if your mobile doesn't update Google Latitude, you still can.
I started playing with this and a few friends as soon as I heard of it. Several family members traveling over the holidays to a single location, everyone can see how close everyone else is.
Lost your phone? Try some simple steps, like showing the location or locking the screen, to help you secure it. GoogleTerms & PrivacyHelp. Google apps. The GPS Phone Tracker is an exceptional option as well. This tracker makes it easy to find the location of the person by using.
Long-distance truck-driving companies could use it as a low-cost free alternative to using GPS for locating where there trucks are currently at. This is essentially just like a Twitter update which all your friends viewing you on the map can see except it's in graphical format.
Hi Shreela, great question. Yes, if you look on the Google Latitude page, just below the login there's an option to add the widget to iGoogle. I don't believe you need to enter your phone number to do that? Just log in with your Google ID and it'll get added, then you can manually enter your location on that page. Good luck, and let me know if you run into any brick walls I've never considered the non-phone approach, but both you and Mike bring up some excellent non-PDA uses.
Can't tell you how many times my wife has scolded me to "put that thing away! Anyway, yes, you need to be able to run Google Maps on your phone, and most standard cellphones either can't, or they don't have the data plan to support it, as you point out. On the flip side, you CAN add the widget to iGoogle and manually set wherever you are or are going to be so that friends and family know what's up.
You make a good point though - Google really should consider allowing people to somehow text there location to Latitude after signing up.. Does Google have a blog we can make these suggestions to? I've got some issues with Google Calendar as well. I want to join, but don't want to put in my phone number. I just want to manually enter my nearest major intersection so people would know which part of town I'm from.

Please be careful in case you are able to identify the location of your phone, which might very well be the home address of the thief. Head over and sign in to the Find my mobile website. Hey RYAN,you gat a nice posts here.
But I can't see a way to join without providing my phone number. I think it is quite cool that you can track your location even without the GPS functionality. But my question behind this service was, is a data plan necessary? I'd love if it weren't, but since "accessing sites from your phone" kept getting mentioned I'm thinking a data plan is a necessity for this service. Which is a shame because I'm all about the texting but can't justify the expense of a data plan since the only place I don't have an Internet connection is when I'm driving. And everyone who loves me doesn't WANT me to have a connection at those times: The drawback to Google Latitude is that it doesn't run in the background.
If you switch to another application, your position updates will stop. I think this is totally scary. What ever happened to privacy?

In case your device actually got stolen, you might be able to find it using the backup and sync feature of Google Photos. If you activated this option in the app, then all images taken with your phone will be uploaded to your Google Photos account.
Why is that good news? Well, not just the image but also the location where it was taken is uploaded. Obviously, this only works if your lost phone has an active internet connection and if you gave your photos app the permission to use your location. Please be careful in case you are able to identify the location of your phone, which might very well be the home address of the thief.
Use that information and call your local authorities to take it from there. For this to work, you need a Samsung account and registered your device before you lost it.
