Finally Loopt made it to Android and your G1. For the strangers, Loopt is a social mapping app which allows you to keep track of your friends, their location and what are they up to (read spying). Locations can be shared between Loopt users on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Boost, MetroPCS and T-Mobile.
Quote:
The Loopt experience in the Android Market offers all the core Loopt features including background location updating which enables users to receive alerts when a friend is nearby. Users can also switch between map modes for a satellite view of their friend map or to monitor traffic delays. Beyond sharing their location and status information with friends via phones, Loopt users can also easily share their information with popular Web services such as Facebook®, MySpace® and Twitter or personal blogs and Web sites.
