Sharing Your Locations
After you join Latitude, you can start sharing your locations with your friends. Only friends that you have
explicitly invited or accepted can see your location.
Inviting Friends
To share your location with friends and request to see their locations:
1. In Latitude, press and then tap
Add friends.
2. Choose how to add friends:
Ⅲ Select from Contacts. Select any number of friends from People. Friends who already use Latitude have a
icon next to their names.
Ⅲ Add via email address. Enter an email address.
3. Tap
Add friends > OK.
If your friends already use Latitude, they receive an email request and a notification on Latitude. If they have
not yet joined Latitude, they receive an email request that tells them to sign in to Latitude with their Google
account.
Accepting an Invitation
When you get a sharing request from a friend, you can:
ⅷ Accept and share back. You can see your friends’ locations, and they can see yours.
ⅷ Accept, but hide my location. You can see your friends’ locations, but they can’t see yours.
ⅷ Don’t accept. No location information is shared between you and your friends.
You can change how your location is shared with each friend at any time. See “Inviting Friends” for details.
Showing Your Friends
You can show your friends using the map view or the list view.
Map view
When you open Google Maps™, it shows your friends’ locations. Each friend is
represented by a photo icon with an arrow pointing at his or her approximate
location. If a friend has opted to enable city-level sharing, his or her icon will not
have an arrow and it appears in the middle of the city. Refer to “Inviting Friends”
earlier in this chapter for more details.
To see your friend’s profile and connect with him or her, tap the photo. This will
display your friend’s name, and then tap the balloon right above his or her icon.
To see other friends, tap either one of the arrow buttons next to the balloon.
