Description:

PlaceTrack is the best full-featured background updater for Google Latitude. Can even get your friends location from Foursquare and Facebook or Check you In!HOW IT COMPARES WITH OTHER CLIENTS✓ battery usage is excellent: PlaceTrack uses SLC mode (Significant Location Change), NOT continuos background. PlaceTrack is suspended in the background most of the time and does not use cpu cycles✓ Foursquare and Facebook support: your friends' checkins are shown on map and you can view StreetView images or Foursquare photos for their location
✓ can save location history locally and can export kml to files or other installed apps
✓ check-in support (to Foursquare and Facebook)✓ uses the new features available in the latest iOS but it also works on older devices and iOS versions✓ facebook/twitter/email/sms integration: you can post your location with a small map
✓ lots of configurable settings and optionsFEATURES✓ keeps Google Latitude up-to-date with your exact location: install the app, authenticate, enable background, quit and forget about it!✓ Foursquare support: your friends' checkins are shown on map and you can view StreetView images or Foursquare photos for their location. Check-In to nearby places.✓ Facebook support: publish your location data, a map and an optional text on your wall. See your Facebook friends location on map or use the new Facebook Check-In feature✓ optional location history and KML export: you can export past locations by email as a KML file and see them on a Google Map or using Google Earth✓ battery friendly background mode: the application suspends on exit and is woken up only when you move significantly (detected using cell towers signal); most of the time it just sleeps and the GPS hardware is powered off to preserve battery✓ automatic relaunch: if the application gets killed for whatever reason (eg, after a power cycle) and background mode was enabled, the application is automatically relaunched in the background on the first location change event✓ location by email, sms, twitter: send your current postal mail address along with gps coordinates and a small street map and a "directions" link. If your receipient uses an iPhone, the "directions" link launches the Maps application (on desktops it opens the Google maps website with your current coordinates)✓ fake location support: you can disable GPS usage completely and input a fake place name to be used as your location. When you enter a fake location, background mode is temporarily disabled.✓ uses iOS background features on supported phone models (3GS and up)✓ uses the official Latitude API, authentication and authorization flow is based on OAuth2 (and 2-step verification is ok)✓ security: your credentials are securely transmitted from your iPhone directly to the services and never sent to our or any third party servers✓ you can tune most configurable parameters (gps accuracy, timeouts, local notifications, etc)✓ your current location (address and gps coordinates) with altitude and speed (if available) are always displayed on the application main screen and included in Facebook status updates✓ the application may send local notification on particular events (location changes, network failures, authentication errors): you can set a notification threshold for the error severity level or turn off notifications completelyPlaceTrack uses Google Latitude but is in no way associated with or endorsed by Google Inc.
