Just wondering if anyone uses the app latitude for Android phones?
If so, fancy sharing usernames? Wanna test out the app.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
me and my mates have been using it for a couple of years now- it's pretty nifty- as we all work odd hours its a fast way to tell if they are at work, or are at home and are able to 'come out to play' lol

Really? I dont find it that bad. Don't always use it with GPS just cell signal so maybe thats why I dont notice the drain. Only turn on GPS to be really accurate if someone is looking for me.
Its not in the market per say its a layer on google maps. Open google maps and either in the menu or the layers button there should be a lattitude bit.

Jeepers - the thread title sounds like the title of a science fiction novel!
Mind you half the world now sounds like science fiction to this Luddite.......

I bet Marvin would hate it, every one knowing where he was all the time, not that anyone would care, who would want to know where he was?

Ahh the cool thing is with it, you set up who can see you and then you can turn it off or just set your self at some random location i.e. middle of the north sea, top of Ben Nevis etc etc.
I'm in... Will show up in Ireland... when it's up and running have used it to locate friends at a bushcraft site,
mack dot johnmack@gmail.com Also using the google mymap feature I have shared out Irish scout locations for camps from time to time. Technology has a place in my heart but so does the good old maps with a sixfigure grid.

Im not sure how this works, only used the app today, but then again I have no friends on it yet.
in Latitude, at the bottom of the screen there is a button that takes you to a menu. press the button with a plus sign next to a mans head and add from email. Just put an email address in.
I think you'll find Latitude makes little or no difference to your battery life. You are probably thinking about actually having the mapping application (Google Maps) open and using the GPS to constantly track your position. Google Maps does suck a lot of juice when its running, also using a map as "live wallpaper" sucks your battery dry in record time.
