Re: Google adds location tracking to Google Maps

Pretty cool new revision.

I wonder if they'll eventually modify it to track in the background... ala loopt. Where it will wake up, send postion, then exit again.

edit: nevermind. I learned it already does. Select detect automatically, then exit will yield a confirmation asking "do you want to continue sharing?" and sho enuff it still does. Updates about every 20mins, or if you move a distance greater than about 500m. Sweet..... until my Treo800 locked up this afternoon and would never fully reset until I got in and turned off sharing. Least since its google doing this I know it will eventually work properly. I'm just unsure what to think about the data retention. Google knows where I am, and where I was. *shiver*
