Another service I didn't mention was Yahoo!'s Fire Eagle, which you might prefer to Google Latitude. It will send requests for your location at user-defined intervals via SMS, and will ask you to respond with your address, nearest landmark or venue. It's not a GPS service. What information services would you like to see arriving first? Mine would be advertising, but then again I'm biased!

It only updates when you open the map which for most people is every few days. If it updated location every 1, 5, 10, 30 minutes or whatever it would be much more valuable a service. as it is i send people to my latitude link and it shows me 3 states away from my current location. Useless. First get accurate and frequent results, then add the informational layer. I think it is going to be a major part of the future, but it will have to fight for its rightful place. At the moment it seems to be napping. Latitude is almost perfect. It only updates when you open the map which for most people is every few days.
