latitude isn't enabled unless you do so thru the app... I believe that's the only addition that was added in the new one. I still prefer to have the latest and greatest though
it may be something with the permission. try to set 'allow' to all.
regarding the latitude, it may works if the user has gmail account and registered (fill in username and password) first. yes it may take 'sometime' to lock the satelite regarding our position, but afterwards it 'bloody' useful for mapping where you are.
