Interesting! Sounds like it might be a little more feature-rich than GPSTracker + InstaMapper.

Im not seeing this when I search the UK Market. Also when you visit the (google.com/latitude) url is just says coming soon. Is the UK being denied this at the moment or is everyone getting the same thing?

This is going to be really cool i cant wait to get the update for this. I have been holding off from using any of the applications to do all this becuase i knew google would come up with something that would blow them all out of the water, and here it is.

This will be great. What I like about it the most is that it appears it is going to be availabe on a great deal of other platforms as well. I don't know many people that have G1's, but I know a ton of people with Windows based phones and Blackberrys.

Yeah this is going to be really cool, I live in Kansas City,MO but im from a small town and my brother (who i talk into getting a g1) is always coming to Kansas City and getting lost so he calls me to get him back to where he needs to go, so this will let me bring up maps and give him directions.

And i think this is going to be a cool, look what my phone can do kinda thing...lol
