(Available by Country)
Google Latitude™ user location service lets you and your friends share locations and
status messages with each other. It also lets you send instant messages and emails,
make phone calls, and get directions to your friends' locations.
Your location is not shared automatically. You must join Latitude, and then invite
your friends to view your location or accept their invitations.
