Show 'My Location' on Google maps

2 replies · 4,142 views · Started 09 October 2009

Hi all,

Slightly N95 related as i'm using it off my N95, but how do I share 'My location' using Google Maps on my phone so that others (public) can see where I am?

I recently did a roadtrip and wanted to include my location on a map embedded onto my website?

Any ideas or advice?

Many thanks in advance.

Edit : I do already have the app working on the phone, and am able to see it correctly on the IGoogle part of my Google account, so that part works fine, I just dont know how to then share the location, or display my location on a map for meople to see it.

Thanks.

From the map screen select Options/Latitude. Then click joystick right to select the Privacy tabbed screen. Select the option you want ie Detect your location.
This will allow anyone who is a 'buddy' of yours to be able to see you on their device. I don't think you will be able to share that onto a website without some wizardry.

hi, thanks for your reply. yes, got that, now what i would like is for anyone to see my location on google maps, is that possible? and if so, what code (or other) do i have to put on my website for them to see my updated location all he time?

thanks
