Finding your friends with Google Latitude

Google Latitude lets you and your friends view each others' locations on maps 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 invitations from your friends.
