You have to admit Google are good! They launched latitude a few months ago which allowed you to share your location with friends. Last night i noticed they’ve opened it up so that you can share it with anyone (provided you accept the world of privacy disclaimers!) so i thought why not use it for the rally allowing people back hope to follow our progress ~ or lack of it ;)
It works by installing the latest version of Google Maps on a mobile (in this case Ross’s blackberry) which then uses either the cell location (accurate to within 0.25 to 5 miles depending on how many transmitters are nearby) or in our case GPS (accurate to within 3 meters)
I’ve added five maps at varying zoom levels to a new page on the boomerang rally site which you can find here. Enjoy!
Below is our current location (see link above for more detailed maps)
