After launching Latitude, Google add location service or option to share your locations with friends on GMail in form of location signatures.

After turning on the “Location in Signature” feature in Gmail Labs, you’ll see a new checkbox in the signature area of your settings that says “Append your location to the signature.” Once the box is checked, all of your subsequent emails will end with something like “Sent from: Paris, France”.

Gmail determines your location by geographical data associated with your public IP address. But this is not always accurate, so Google encourages you to install its Google Gears browser extension software, which can more accurately identify your location using WiFi.
