Why Does Goolge Latitude SUCK

Reason? The "My Location" feature works on the STP, aka cell tower triangulation/A-FLT.

Granted, this method is much less accurate than GPS/aGPS but the benefit is this: uses virtually no battery life so you can leave it on 24/7 and it will 'track' you even if you exit the program (seriously, it even asks), second it's instant/very fast and third it works completely indoors, deep inside any building.

I'm also more comfortable knowing people can see me in the vicnity but not within a 100 feet, lol. OTOH, if I do want that I just switch on GPS and bang...instant, accurate location for everyone.

Awesome, this gives me hope that Google will have cell triangulation working for the Touch Pro.
