Google’s new Latitude service is a way to keep tabs on your friends, but next time you lose your phone, Latitude will become your best friend – a phone tracking device.
Aside from working on your mobile phone as part of their maps application, Google Latitude can also be viewed from a web browser off your iGoogle home page. So, next time you lose your phone, just log on to Google and see where your phone is currently claiming it is. It’s LoJack but free!
Everyone should install Google Latitude just for this tracking service. If you aren’t comfortable sharing your location with your friends, don’t. Just sign up for the service, don’t add any friends, and you’ll be the only person that can see where your phone is.
