Google to retire Latitude on August 9

Google Latitude will be officially retiring on August 9. Related products in Google Maps for Android, Latitude for iPhone, the Latitude API, the public badge, the iGoogle Gadget and the Latitude website will no longer be available in a month.

The retirement of Google Latitude means that you will no longer be able to share your location using the latitude and Google hasn’t included latitude as a feature in its latest version of Google Maps for Android. The search giant will also be removing Latitude for iPhone from the App Store.

Google will delete your list of friends on Latitude and you will not be able to see or manage friends. Moreover, applications that use the Latitude API will no longer have access to your location data, including the location history data on the Google servers.

Furthermore, Google will be removing the check in facility from the Google Maps and previously enabled auto check-ins will be turned off. However, you will be able to check-in, share your locations and view your past check-ins on the Google+ app.
