Latitude is a new Google Mobile application. Social and collaborative sites helped us know what are our friends, partners or relatives are doing. With latitude we place our friends locations out in Google Maps and know where they are. 24×7!

How does Google Latitude work?

All participants of the Google network Latitude must register and agree to be located at all times. When you want to revoke their consent. Latitude sent Google a text message, email or a call to notify the new position of a friend.

It runs on devices with Android, the HTC T-Mobile G1 (and will be included with the G1′s RC33 firmware), in most of the BlackBerry color devices with Windows Mobile 5.0 or higher, in most of the Symbian S60 Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones with Java 2 Micro Edition.

Google Latitude works with your existing Google account and you can send invitations to connect to people you want to connect to this service. For people who suffer from paranoia and want to maintain your privacy, the system can adjust the level of privacy desired.

This Google service is available in the following mobile platforms:

* Almost all models of BlackBerry
* Windows Mobile 5.0 onwards
* IGoogle

And coming up soon:

Android *
* IPhone and iPod touch
* Phone with JAVA (J2ME)
* Symbian S60

Knowing Google and the wide range of products and services which it offered in the past. It will only be a matter of time before we interact with Latitude, Gmail, Google Calendar, and whatever else that may happen in a not so distant future.

Latitude Google is available in 27 countries, including Spain, Brazil and Chile. Once finished testing all the options of the system, we will FWLabs.
