Default Google Buzz as Pseudo SPOT?

but it looks like this could be useful for at least transmitting where
you landed out.

I now hand off to those who have more time to experiment with
this........


I loaded it - it's a Web app, so you need pretty good connectivity to
get it to load and work vi the iPhone browser. A better solution
would be a local app that sends your GPS location via SMS. GPS Text
does this as do other apps.
