Re: Newest Google Maps Version 3.0.0.2 with Latitude Cab and OEM :-)

the thing that really kills this latitude feature is you have to keep google maps running all the time for it to work. the only thing i keep running all the time is TF3D and i still only make it home from work with about 30% battery left. i only text while at work and as soon as i am finished with it, i turn off the screen. so running google maps constantly would require the phone to be plugged in everywhere you went.

Re: Newest Google Maps Version 3.0.0.2 with Latitude Cab and OEM :-)

program is cool. I had my out of state friend watch me as I drove down the freeway and he said it shows I am moving but only updated every so often. Not like it shows when I watch myself on my own phone. but you do have to have google maps opened and gps active for it to reload you current spot for your friends to locate you. I like the satellite view cause I can see out of state friends home that Ive never seen before.

Re: Newest Google Maps Version 3.0.0.2 with Latitude Cab and OEM :-)

If you answer 'yes' when closing gmaps it seems to wake your phone up every few minutes, and still won't update your location at all (I suspect it's not updating because our phones do not work with the google maps my location feature with GPS off the way other phones do - I don't think it will ever activate the actual GPS to update your location in the background).

Latitude is near useless in it's current state in my opinion, as it requires gmaps to be open (and GPS to be ON) to update your location, and it will wake your phone up constantly without actually doing anything if you accidentally answer yes when closing it.

I cant get it to work on my Alltel HTC Touch, I think it may have something to do with my GSM cell-ID and maybe my Touch isn't broadcasting it... anyone know anything about that?
