Google Latitude check in

[Volsav]

I have had an iPhone 5 since late December 2012. I downloaded the Google Latitude app from the Apple App Store. After I open Latitude and go to Check In, my current location is not listed. Locations close by are listed. Is this normal, or am I missing something? Tim (Volsav)

Make sure in Settings-> Privacy

That Location Services is on and that Latitude is also set ON in the list.

Thank you. The settings on the phone are as you have described them.

I re-read your post and I think what you are seeing when you click Check In is normal. You will locations close to your current location, not your location.

When you are on the main Friends screen are you seeing your location there, on the top?

Latitude has never been really good at finding very specific locations mainly major places i.e stores govt buildings arenas and things of that sort and most are added by people like yourself adding them. It has never been up to par with FBI or other ones.

Thanks for your effort. On the main Friends screen, on the top, my current location is not listed. What is listed under my name is the state I live in, California.

Thanks. If that is how Latitude works on an iPhone, I understand. I do see that on another phone I have, an Android, Latitude does give the current location when I use the check in feature. The same is true when logging onto Latitude on the web.

I did try to add my current location and was not able to figure out how. Can I get some help on how to do that?

Thank you. When I go to the bottom of the page, select search and type in my current address or name, I receive the message "No Results".
