That's interesting... according to the Google link above, you can manually enter a location instead of using the GPS. This means that you can effectively report false locations. So, instead of "disappearing from the radar" on Saturday night from 9pm to 11:59pm, you can just report a false location. Does it tell your friends though whether you entered manually or whether it is GPS?

Haha. I understand what you are saying, but that's not possible. Either you have the GPS turned on in Latitude, or else you have to set to enter manual locations. I'm just wondering if it displays whether the entry was GPS or manual.

haha, it's just one of those things though - it's easy to lose track of technology and what it is / isn't doing.

Like emailing in to your boss that you didn't submit the report because the internet isn't working.... :eek:

My boss knows that I can send email from my iPhone but that I can't attach documents from my phone. :D
