Google Maps for Mobile River had launched a location-sharing parcel a few months ago called Latitude, which, contempt its socially creepy connotations, actually helped a San Francisco resident get her purse backrest from dastardly thieves. Janina Valiente’s BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold had Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Maps installed and was happily tucked away in the purse when a homo took it and ran for the hills. After calling up her baby, who had license to see her Latitude position, police were able to track down and apprehend the shepherd’s crook. Besides being a feel-good floor that gives due credit to the awesomeness of localization-based services, a draw of folks are still skeptical about devising their exact wherabouts known to anyone or anything. The fact is, Latitude, and most (if not all) LBS services, gives you full privacy controller. Hopefully this floor is just 1 of many examples to come of how GPS is shaping mobility. Check out the full floor on CBS.
