Matt,
You make a great point (and have a great name!). I often use this to know where my girlfriend is when either of us go out. We each like to know that the other is roughly in the right place (e.g. making sure we made it to our destination at the expected time). Removing the timestamp makes it impossible to know how accurate the data is. I don't want to worry that she is stuck along the side of the road just because I don't know that the data hasn't updated in 30 minutes.
This was a pretty careless change, and I really wonder if anyone on the Maps team even used Latitude to know what the impacts of this oversimplification even are.

I think more features are coming for the Google+ system like time elapsed but an API is not one of them.

Cool idea Tim,Just an FYI that even after August 9, users will still be able to access their own location history data via the dashboard or google takeout. Although this is an extra step for users vs letting you download on their behalf, you can still accept a manual upload of their location history data even after the API turndown.Cheers,

Here at Esplorio (http://esplor.io) we've constructed some tight integration with Latitude, so we're a bit bummed to see the API go. The good news from us is that we've been working on location history replacement apps for a little while now which hook directly into Esplorio and will have some more advanced features that Latitude lacks (e.g. auto POI detection, transport mode detection).If you're interested in making some use of your historical Latitude data before the API goes dead head over to http://esplor.io and request an invite (we're in private beta right now). You can not only view your whole location history by day, place etc but also merge it with your other favourite social networks (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Instagram, Flickr, Picasa) to get a more complete picture of your location history along with photographs etc. Lots more features to come!You'll need to sign up before the 9th of August to make use of this of course!Hope that helps some of you,Tim--Co-Founder Esplorio

We all saw this coming, but maybe now that the cat is out of the back officially- SOMEONE FROM GOOGLE CAN RESPOND???
Will there be a new API for Google Locations, such as the new G+ location system. Or to still work with Google Location history. Is location history going away?
1000 hours down the drain.....
