if you have a google account (for st. josephs students, you log in with your netsja email and password), then you can access google latitude.
it claims that you can find out where your friends are exactly on a map.
i tried to play around with it a bit, and figured out that the only way you can find out where your friends are is if you are friends with them on igoogle. then, they have to set the privacy settings to allow you to actually search for them and see a map locating where they are.
basically, google latitude sounds cooler than it really is. you have to actually enter where you are and update the address any time you move from that spot. that is they only way someone can actually locate you. i guess if you were a parent wanting to keep track of where your child is at all times you could ask them to stay logged into igoogle and update their location everytime they move?
