I've been using it today and it's really polished. Three or four taps and you're broadcasting your location to your friend, or co-worker... no signs ups required for either party. It seems pretty safe to because you set a timer on the broadcast, specify who can receive it and even expire links early if you want to.

I can see this being really handy when you're meeting someone, they can see in real time how far away you are.

I've been using it on my iphone, and the only annoying part is that it stops broadcasting your location when you close the app (obviosuly) - but that should be fixed in OS 4.0 when they allowed background location services.
