what is the name of the iphone app that lets you see where a friend is. the friend also has an iphone.?

I was told there is an iphone app that allows you to see where certain other iphone users are. For example if a mother bought an iphone for their teenage kid and would like to know where they are at anytime. I am thinking it is named looped or loop'd or something like that.

There is one for face book:Find My Friend for Facebook is a fantastic app that helps users to find the location of any of his/her friends without the knowledge of where he/she is.

Its pretty helpful in those cases when you have to meet a friend at a new crowded place, when you go like “meet me at the park at 3” – Ultimately the timings mismatch – And there is either no network coverage over there or you are out of credit – it becomes a total mess. And even if you can talk to the friend, its very hard to locate, “I am right here in the front of the building with yellow shirt on”, yeah but behind a big tree that hid you .

Well it’s quite a fatigue … and Find My Friend lets you easily navigate your behind-the-tree-friend using GPS and iPhone 3.0 Maps so that you don’t have to go around in circles.

another is::Thanks to new applications such as Loopt and Over Here, your friends don't need to ask anymore. Once you join either network, you can see if your buds are just around the corner, or in a different continent.

Loopt and Over Here both monitor your friend's movements, but Loopt provides detailed data, including status updates for each of your friends.

Some users may consider the tracking technology as an invasion of privacy. The very concept sounds like a self-imposed probation tracker or something you would read about in a George Orwell novel, but these apps are designed for practical daily use, and they require friend approval.

Anyway, I downloaded both Apps, and Loopt has a serious advantages in three key areas:networking, accuracy and structure. Over Here, by Ed Lea , has several bugs and is only available on iPhone, while Loopt is available on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Metro PCS, T-Mobile and Boost.

Loopt can sync your location and status with Twitter and Facebook. Over Here notifies your friends via email, which is convenient, but it's not as handy as the multiple outlets offered by Loopt.

Loopt wins in the accuracy category as well. On my first attempt to view my current location, Over Here showed that I was in the middle of the Indian River. I live on an island, so I can understand the confusion, but I expected better accuracy. (If only I was lucky enough to blog from a personal yacht.)

My only gripe with Loopt was its tendency to crash when I attempted to enter my password. In this head-to-head comparison, Loopt wins by a significant margin. Apparently, I'm not the only iPhone user who thinks that Over Here needs a lot of work, just read these reviews at getsatisfaction.com
