Finding your friends with Google Latitude (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 text and email messages, 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. Only friends that you have
explicitly invited or accepted can see your location.
