Google is releasing free software Wednesday that enables people to keep track of each other using their cell phones.
She says "Latitude" uses GPS systems and what's called cell tower triangulation to do the job.
The software seeks the closest three cell towers and, with GPS, combines the data to show where someone is.
It is designed to work on any phone with Internet capabilities, except the iPhone.
"Latitude" is being marketed as a tool that could help parents keep tabs on their children's locations, but it can be used for anyone to find anyone else, assuming permission is given.
