Was in the papers the day after it was released with headlines along the lines of 'spy in your pocket'
You have to go into google maps, turn it on, add people who can see you to a list then select not to turn it off when leaving maps.
I think it's quite a good idea, especially with the non gps location thing, although i'm not quite sure how many people will actually use it.

I think it's a nice little idea, just been able to see where your mates are etc.
Anyone fancy trying it out?

You've got to wonder if there's a reason that they haven't belled you
