Story & Features:

Season #2:

(Previously on season 1: There once was a "Latitude Notifications" extension for Google Latitude, an I was a happy user, until Google killed Latitude. After months without notifications, I rewrote the old extension to work with Google+ location sharing.)

Recently, Google moved location sharing from Google+ back to Google Maps again. Since I have foresee this problem years ago, and architected this extension accordingly, this time I am able to quickly adapt to the change.

To continue receiving location notifications, please install the new "Google Maps Location Provider" extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aoiaobnnbepbkgepbccipipllpmoegjk

Hint for new users: click on the "Ex" at the top of the configurations page for more controls and configurations.

Works great on my 64 bit Chrome under Win7. Would like some step by step instructions on setting up a phone to report position.
