Google Latitude gives you control over how much or how little location info you want to share with whomever you choose. Before someone can view your location, you must either send the person a location request by adding them as a friend or accept their location request and choose to share back your location. You can sign out of and turn off Google Latitude to stop sharing your location with friends at any time from the privacy menu.
Use the Latitude privacy menu at any time to change settings for all friends:
Detect your location. Your location is updated automatically. See the 'Sharing location' article to learn how to continuously update and share location on your phone.
Set your location. Manually select a location on the map that will be shared with friends.
Hide your location. No friends can see your location. Your friends will not see your photo icon on a map and will not see a location for you in their list view.
Sign out of Latitude. You can't see your friends and they can't see you. Your friends will not see your photo icon on a map and will not see a location for you in their list view.
