Re: Why Does Goolge Latitude SUCK

The touch pro and other phones can locate with tower triangulation, which on the CDMA network is known as AFLT. While other providers allow access to triangulation location, Sprint guards this information on their phones, and only allows you to access it if you develop software jointly with sprint. Perhaps the reason Sprint doesn't just give the info away is because they are charging $5 a month to use their Family Locator service, which DOES use AFLT data from phones
