Google has rolled out a new tool for its Mobile services by which you can see your friend’s location in real time with your Mobile phone or PC. It’s called Google Latitude. With it, you and your friends can share locations, share status and can contact one another.

The tool is available with latest Google maps download. It can also be downloaded to your phone directly by visiting google.com/latitude from your phone. To use it on your PC, there is no other option than to add Latitude to iGoogle. As mentioned previously, it starts location sharing upon approval of you and your pal. After that you can share your status. It directly syncs with GTalk also. So, you can contact your friend by IM, SMS or a phone call.

Concerned about privacy? No worries, you can easily hide your location or turn off Google Latitude in Maps. The tool currently works with Android, Windows Mobile 5.0+, most BlackBerry devices, Symbian S60 phones. They are going to add support for iPhone and some Java phones too soon.
