Latitude
Latitude allows you to share your location with friends and view their locations on a map.
Your location is not shared automatically. You must join Latitude, and then invite your friends to view your location or
accept their invitations. Only friends that you have explicitly invited or accepted can see your location.
NOTE
You need an active mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to use Latitude.
To see your location and get directions, you must turn on location services. From the Home screen, tap
Apps > Settings > Location
& security. Select one or both from Use wireless networks or Use GPS satellites.
Maps may not be available for all locations.
