Google Latitude Upgrades With Location History and Location Alerts
11 Nov 2009
Google added new Location History and Location Alerts (in beta) for its Latitude service. The new Location History will allow Latitude user to keep tab of the places they have been to. Both new features are available only to registered Latitude service users.
With the new Location History feature, a user can view and manage past Latitude locations. The Latitude Location History can be viewed only by the user and not his/her friends. The user can also delete selected Locations history or entire Latitude locations history.
Latitude also got the new Location Alerts feature that provides alerts to regularly visited locations based on the user's Location History. The good thing about these alerts is no nuisance would be created when user is at home or workplace.
This feature still is in beta stage and requires Latitude History to be enabled first. It's likely that Google will bring ad support in Location Alerts so that users can get nearest Subway or any other ads on their devices.
For enabling Location History and Location Alerts, Browse http://www.google.com/latitude/apps on your web or mobile browser. To use both the features, you need to sign up for Latitude service at http://www.google.com/latitude.
