What should I make of my most recently visited place, in the sea outside the Gulf of Guinea? Everywhere I've ever been is _really_ far away from there.
That sounds like a lat-lon of 0-0

#12Of course it is, because I opted in when it asked if I wanted to be tracked. Google also sends me an email once a month to remind me I chose to be tracked.

#13Or you know... Disable location history?

#14I'd assumed that location history had been turned off when Latitude went away. Glad to see it's still there :).

#15for some people like me this is a feature and not an issue. You get to choose if you want to be tracked or not so its up to you.

They have (finally) updated the Google+ app, and the "Locations" functionality is much more like the old Latitude. Also, it works on rooted phones now (previously the map tiles wouldn't load).

#17I really like this service, since they have this data anyway it's great it's offered reciprocally. In fact I enable location history which takes it to the next step, though it seems to be a battery killer.

#18Doesn't this constant use of GPS drain the battery?
On every Android-based smartphone I've had ( two! ) I've only enabled GPS and network-derived location when I need to navigate, otherwise the phone shuts-off in a few hours.

Network derived location does not represent a meaningful extra power draw. GPS involves a separate radio system (rx only, admittedly) and is only active when something actually requests your location...
