I am trying out Google Latitude tonight, anyone else ? Even though it is not really ham radio, I wonder if anyone has thought of ham radio uses for this application? The status page could become an interesting alerting system on a Google Map. Set your status to your callsign , e.g "K3UK QRV 40M"
Also, if anyone is trying it, how close to your QTH are you able to resolve ? Tonight I am only getting within a few thousand meters, the Google Latitude map on my Blackberry says " Your location within 3200 meters. GPS Temporarily Unavailable" . That seems odd since my GPS software within the Blackberry (VZ Navigator) has me within a few feet. If you are using it, please feel free to send me an invitation , so I can track you and play around with possible ham applications, Andy K3UK
