Google’s Latitude social mapping app hits iTunes


Google's Latitude app has made its way onto the iTunes App Store. The app is for the iOS and allows users to track their friends and family on a map interface. The app works in the background, allowing your location to be updated without user input. The background feature of course requires iOS 4, and Google states it is only supported on the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

The app offers a number of privacy settings. Users can choose have the app automatically update their location or do it manually, in addition to hiding your location. The background updating process too is an optional setting.
