Google maps.

So i downloaded the update from the marketplace. All seems well. Latitude now works in the uk. My main question is.

When i start latitude. It comes up with my picture and a tab in the bottom right corner. When i click on that it opens a new screen with a friends tab and a update tab when i click on the update tab it gives me the option to ''shout out'' and under that is my location when i click the change button. it gives me lots of peoples names and addresses??

Basicly. Are these people that are also using latitude or something else???

Not tried latitude yet.

Anyone else lost Street View with the update from the Market?

Its still there but not not as easy to use. But then a little easier in the same breath! Its more for where you are at the time. Not for where you might be going? If that makes sense??

If you open maps. Press my location. When you get the blue dot. Press on the box that appears above it. It will then open a new window. In there will be show on map. get directions and it will probably say ''street view is not available in this area''

Hope that all makes sense!!

Hi
Press n hold anywhere on the map and when the address box pops up, press on that. Menu opens and if you pressed in a Street View area, Street View is on the menu.

Not sure why you are getting a ton of names and addresses, if they are in your phone already I could understand. But as I know it, to use Latitude (unless the UK is different then the U.S.) that you have to approve of others 'seeing' you first before you actually have them on your list (and you on theirs....), kinda of like instant messaging. Let me know how it goes for you.

Well i think i know what it is now! I was doing some fund raising in town yesterday. I was having a play with my latitude thing. Pressed change location and it came up with some of the shops that i was near! So when i went home i googled some of the places that come up near my home. They all seem to have a google map tagged with their details.

I think its a easier way of giving more detail to where you are! rather than just ''gloucester'' or where ever i might be!
