This looks cool and could be handy. I wonder how many phones could easily use this link for navigation though. Currently I use glympse if I want to tell people where I am so they can meet up with me or pick me up.

If you want to do something similar with an iPhone, you should check Milestones, http://alandair.com/milestones. Keep and share geolocated notes, possibly with photo, via Twitter/Twitpic and email (KMZ for Google Earth). Backup as a Google Fusion Table, with photos sent to Picasaweb. (Disclaimer: Milestones is my fault. Working now on recovering from the Fusion Table backup, and adding social awareness.)
Wow, milestones looks as if it is just the application I have been looking for for some time! If only I had an iPhone...
try http://shaloc.com, iphone app
Thanks for the heads-up. Being based on HTML5, geo.gy is platform-independent
