Google Inc. announced the launch of new service, which is part of a software package of Mobile Maps. Service, called Google Latitude, allows the user to communicate with your friends or colleagues their current location.Of course, the corporation was worried about the protection of personal data of users, making the service is fully customizable. You can significantly limit the range of persons who will be able to see this information. In addition, you can choose the appearance of various locations (for example, to make visible information about his whereabouts in public places, but to close the data on the location of your home or office).
All these settings can be shared, and can be configured for each particular person: the functionality of Mobile Maps service is quite extensive. In general, the service really is of interest to many people - anyone can leave information about their location is fully open, and someone can start a game.
There is a possibility that service would be popular among the public figures and pop stars - because the fans of celebrities with passion will monitor every step of his idol. Unfortunately, not all versions of devices supported - in the "coming soon" can even see the iPhone and iPod Touch, which can be regarded as fairly significant shortcomings.
Program portion of the service can be installed not only on a mobile phone or communicator - are also versions for conventional PCs. Just download the widget for your computer, install it - and the service is ready to work. Note that until the service supports only 27 countries (including Russia), all others will be progressively added.
