As for Tony's question: I am not sure. I am guessing you should be able to keep it on in the background, at all times. At least with phones such as BB this is definitely possible, in which case Latitude would be working constantly.

This will help their walking and bicycling directions. Cody How about using it for tracking bikeways and pathways and shortcuts for Google Maps?

And if they ran "Maps" for a while but turned it off, isn't the only data you get the last location Google picked up while the app was running? Now, if there was a way to get Google Latitude to work any time the phone was on (as in capable of receiving a call) that would be great, but it seems to me that such a feature would have to be hard-wired into the phone, right? I am hoping that last idea I mentioned is totally wrong and you are going to report back that Google Latitude works at all times, all you have to do is install it on your mobile, but I'm thinking I had better not hold my breath while I await an affirmative reply from you. :-) Great tips on Google Latitude, but don’t the folks you follow have to have Google Maps running when I decide to track them?
