PlaceTrack Latitude updater
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
PlaceTrack is the best full-featured background updater for Google Latitude. Can even get your friends location from Foursquare and Facebook or automatically 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
✓ Check In and Auto Check In support (to Foursquare and Facebook). Auto Check-In uses the new iOS geofencing features. 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 (Google Earth, etc)
✓ delayed Latitude sync: stores your locations when you're offline, push them to your Latitude history when you're back online
FEATURES
✓ keeps Google Latitude up-to-date with your exact location: install the app and forget about it!
✓ Foursquare and Facebook support: see your friends' checkins on the map or automatically check-in to Foursquare or Facebook
✓ location sharing on Twitter, SMS, Email, Facebook
✓ optional location history and KML export: you can export past locations by email (as a KML file) or to other installed app (eg. 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
✓ uses the official Latitude API, authentication and authorization flow is based on OAuth2 (and 2-step verification is ok)
✓ 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
✓ fake location support: you can disable GPS usage completely and input a fake place name to be used as your location
✓ 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)
PlaceTrack uses Google Latitude but is in no way associated with or endorsed by Google Inc.
