Viewing your friends’ locations
You can view your friends’ locations on a map or in a list.
When you open Maps, your friends’ locations are shown. Each friend is represented by their
picture (from Contacts) with an arrow pointing to their approximate location. If a friend has
chosen to share city-level locations, their picture does not have an arrow and appears in the
middle of the city.
To see a friend’s profile and connect, touch the photo. Your friend’s name appears in a
balloon. Touch the balloon to open a screen with details about your friend and many
connection options.
When you open Latitude you see a list of your Latitude friends, with a summary of their last
known locations, status, and so on. Touch a friend in the list to open a screen with details
about the friend and many connection options.
