Google Latitude
If you use the Google Maps application on your phone you may have noticed a new feature called Google Latitude. Apparently, you can share your location with others. I was thinking, this would be really cool for a group to use at a park.
Not sure if it is tied to GPS or if a little "pin" just appears on the map that must be refreshed, but imagine the possiblities of locating your friends regardless of what land/pavilion/area they are in. Cool! I want to try this sometime.

No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

...unless they're inside the Aladdin or Nemo play or screaming on Terror and can't hear the phone.Amy wrote:That is pretty neat, but along those same lines, I'm thinking that if you all have cell phones, couldn't you simply call to see where everyone is at the time?

Horizons1, I just recently noticed that feature on my G1. My 1st thought was "why?". But your point of using in the park(s) is a great idea.

It is a very good point, but I think viking245 really summed up the benefits of this. It can make communicating very easy in a place where talking is almost impossible.Amy wrote:That is pretty neat, but along those same lines, I'm thinking that if you all have cell phones, couldn't you simply call to see where everyone is at the time?

However, this then poses the question of text messaging. Isn't that what you do when calling people is tough.
