Latitude
With Google Latitude, you can see the location of all of your
friends on a map or on a list. You can also share or hide your
location.
You must first set up your phone to use wireless networks to help
pinpoint your location. Also, Latitude works best when Wi-Fi is
enabled.

Settings ➔ Wireless and networks ➔ Wi-Fi settings .

feature is enabled. Your phone begins scanning for Wi-Fi
Wireless Access Points (WAPs), or “hot spots”, listing the
results of the scan under Wi-Fi networks .
3. Touch the desired Wi-Fi network listing to connect to it.
4. Log on to your Google account. (For more information,

Applications ➔ Latitude .
Your location is displayed on the Latitude map screen,
accurate to 1700 meters.
