Google Add Check-In Features

Can Google be used to check in like a Foursquare? Yes, Google Maps for Android version 5.1 will be used to check in with the advantage of the features Latitude.

Latitude is a feature in Google Maps, where each person can share your location, through facial images at a point on the map. As a result we become to know the positions Latitude our friends.

As quoted from Google blog on Wednesday (02/02/2011), the new Latitude function will be used to update and share their location automatically.

But when I want to do check-ins, users must add the context manually. For example, when they want to add a caption or photo.

Because the Latitude feature will automatically detect the location, Google also gives some tips for checking in easier.

- Notification: Turn on notifications check in the setting Latitude. As a result when we are in a place can directly check-in.

- Check-In Automatic: In certain circumstances, sometimes we need a check-in automatically at the usual place we've been through. Well, just take advantage of this feature.

- Check-Out: When leaving a place, Latitude will automatically update the new position, so that our friends are not wrong guess if we have moved places.
