If you've never heard about it it's a Google web-app that lets you share your location with your friends. Its main issue however is that it requires you to update your location manually, which kinda kills the purpose."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1260732151.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>You can fix this on your jailbroken iPhone by installing an app called Longitude via the RockYourPhone installer. The app is $2.99 USD after the 10 day free trial period, and it can be set to update your location in an interval you configure. This would be a nice alternative to MobileMe and the Find My iPhone option, if my iPhone was jailbroken.&nbsp;</p>
