I'm using Android 1.6 on ADP1. Google map version is "3.1.2(#3189) gmm-google".

John's way works. Thanks to you all.

BUT the latitude function may be disabled again for some reasons I still dunno yet.

And.. since 1.6, the xmls under shared_prefs have been changed. I suppose this blog need an update now ^_^

Two things. First on my rooted G1 I can avoid ADB by using the Terminal Program on the G1 with its keyboard.
Second I already had a record maps_enable_friend_finder with value 0.

I presume the command
UPDATE "gservices" SET value = '1'
WHERE name = 'maps_enable_friend_finder' ;

will turn on Latitude. As my cupcake hasn't yet come, I will wait for that update first.
