Latitude
With Google Latitude, you can see the location of all of your
friends on a map or on a list. You can also share or hide your
location.
You must first set up your phone to use wireless networks to help
pinpoint your location. Also, Latitude works best when Wi-Fi is
enabled.
1. Navigate to a Home screen panel, press , then touch
Settings ➔ Wireless and networks ➔ Wi-Fi settings.
2. Touch Wi-Fi. A green check mark appears, indicating the
feature is enabled. Your phone begins scanning for Wi-Fi
Wireless Access Points (WAPs), or “hot spots”, listing the
results of the scan under Wi-Fi networks.
3. Touch the desired Wi-Fi network listing to connect to it.
4. Log on to your Google account. (For more information,
refer to “Configuring Your Gmail Account” on page 62.)
5. Navigate to a Home screen panel, then touch
Applications ➔ Latitude.
Your location is displayed on the Latitude map screen,
accurate to 1700 meters.
