Google Location History Dashboard Follows Wherever You Go

May 26, 2010, 2:45 PM by Philip Berne

Google today launched the Google Location History Dashboard. The online mapping service tracks your Google Latitude Location History from your Android phone and shows you where you travelled, and where you stopped along the way. The service is opt-in, so it won't track you unless you ask. Google Latitude does not require GPS to work, the service can track your location by Wi-Fi signals, or less accurately by cell tower location.

Wow! Ground breaking innovation

R U kidding me! This sort of program has been available since 2006. Also, Google is partnering up with Sony to create a television that can surf the web. WTF!
