The static map image and the reverse geocoding both use the map API, vs. the latitude API. I'm pretty sure the announcement is only about the Latitude API, and I really think Google will *NEVER* drop the map API, as it is second only to their search engine in terms of both the number of paying users and (I suspect) ad revenue.
So, I think if people transitioned to the phone apps we will be fine.

Well, I don't see this as the death of this app. There is Btraced, which has both advantages and possible disadvantages (if the battery drain is an issue) when compared to Latitude. For now that doesn't help us Android users, but...
It's not quite ready for public announcement but there is an alternative app being developed by a fellow Homeseer user. The first version will be for iPhone, and he assures me he will be releasing an Android version soon after. It's in Beta test now, and I'm sure he will be making an announcement soon. With this decision by Google, me thinks there will be lots of folks interested in the app.

I wonder if Steve is going to let this script die with Google Lattitude or just migrate it over to Btraced.
I tried Btraced but was unhappy with the battery drainage on my Iphone. Now I will have no choice but to use Btraced come August. Im hoping I can adjust the settings properly and save my battery from its daily need for recharge.
Maybe its time to finally put in Jon00's Bluetooth sensor so i can continue to know when everyone is home.

I saw that, I just switched over to using BTraced and notified the retired Aug notice. I suspect there will be lots of annoyed people and pointless apps.

Well, this isn't good news for those who use Google Latitude:

Alas, it's from March, but just wanted to share on here for those Android users who had been looking for it.

First, if the person is "near" the place, the device is turned ON, and when the person moves away from it the device is turned OFF. You can trigger events using status change on these devices to do something when the person either becomes near or has left the place. Second, each device has the distance from the place in the device value.

Somehow the last one does not seem to work very well! Need to get a Robot.
