View your friends’ locations

their picture from Contacts with an arrow that points to their approximate location. If a 
friend has chosen to share city-level locations, their picture doesn’t have an arrow and 
appears in the middle of the city.
If your friends use Google Talk, their online status (Available, Busy, and so on) is 
indicated by a circular icon below their pictures. For more information, see “Changing
