You already know foursquare? or have ever tried the application? Foursquare is an location-based application used for check-in.

Google was also not want to miss a check in the application. Like the foursquare, later on Google Maps version 5.1 for Android can also be used to check in with the advantage of the features Latitude.

Latitude is a feature in Google Maps, where each person can share your location, through facial images at a point on the map. So we get to know the position of Latitude our friends.

Functions such Latitude will be used to update and share their location automatically.

But when I want to do check-ins, users must add the context manually. For example, when they want to add a caption or photo.

Because the Latitude feature will automatically detect the location, Google also gives some tips for checking in easier.

The following tips:

- Notification: Turn on notifications check in the setting Latitude. As a result when we are in a place can directly check-in.

- Check-In Automatic: In certain circumstances, sometimes we need a check-in automatically at the usual place we've been through. Well, just take advantage of this feature.

- Check-Out: When leaving a place, Latitude will automatically update the new position, so that our friends are not wrong guess if we have moved places.
