126 Maps and location
Viewing your friends’ locations
You can view your friends’ locations on a map or in a list.
When you open Maps, your friends’ locations are shown. Each friend is represented by their
picture (from Contacts) with an arrow pointing to their approximate location. If a friend has
chosen to share city-level locations, their picture does not have an arrow and appears in the
middle of the city.
If your friends use Google Talk, their online status (Available, Busy, and so on) is indicated by
a circular icon below their pictures. For more information, see “Chatting in Google Talk” in the
Social chapter.
To see a friend’s profile and connect, touch the photo. Your friend’s name appears in a
balloon. Touch the balloon to open a screen with details about your friend and many
connection options.
When you open Latitude you see a list of your Latitude friends, with a summary of their last
known locations, status, and so on. Touch a friend in the list to open a screen with details
about the friend and many connection options.
