<\/p>\nI have been using Google Latitude for the past week. I must say that it is interesting and helpful at times. For example, meeting with friends seems a tad easier as they are able to know your location. Now, you can smoke (bluff) your way out saying that you are near the location. They knows.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, it may bring question marks. Example, why am I in Geylang after my working hours? Ha, ha.. thanks to Google Latitude (BTW, I was in the vincinity \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n
However, I have a few good laughs from my friend location. For a few days straight, he was at Guandong, Pakistan or today, he was in Palau Pinang. More after the break.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All these location happens when he was at Changi Airport. Very strange. When he updated the position again, it went back to Changi.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The above picture is somewhere near Pakistan. How he got there, I have no idea.<\/p>\n
The below picture is a location in Malaysia, Palau Pinang.<\/p>\n

Do you have such strange encounters?<\/p>\n
Aside from that, I still think that Google Map has provided me a lot of conviences. For example, I was in the vincinity of a location but I could not find the way. I uses the Google map and with the satellite view, I was able to identify it and lead me to it easily. Of course, I have my Mapking but it is not in Satellite view and the location was not marked on Mapking. That is why Mapking (for this case) is not good enough.<\/p>\n
And as for the search, I think it really help if you wanted to find some place near you. This is especially useful if others users had input more information\u00a0 about that place.<\/p>\n
All these, for free (except the data charge). Thanks to Google. BTW, when is Singapore Street View ready??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
