9This Place Needs Refreshments!
When you visit the Nearby tab or want to tag your post with a location, Buzz will try to get your location using your phone’s GPS. If you’re not happy with the location accuracy, hit the refresh icon to tell the app to get your location again. You can troubleshoot here.
10Share Buzz Privately or Publicly
To create a new group to share privately, visit Buzz in Gmail or google.com/contacts from your computer. Your location is attached to your post by default, either as an address or a place. Tap the “Remove location” link if you prefer more privacy. Next time you post, Google will respect your private or public setting for the sharing and location tagging options.
