cellhunter is not just a game, the main goal is to get the database and use the data. because it does not make sense to work only on the own data it will join its database into opencellid.org. with this cooperation there will be a good coverage worldwide and opencellid can provide the data to the enduser. for a coverage of opencellid look at: http://78.47.116.33/~hole/worldcells_opencellid.jpg cellhunter itself offers an api to query the cells known by cellhunter. So here is the call to all the developers around to create a location service based on the opencellid data. for me that database should be the main db and everyone can provide his data to this db. greetings, sebastian > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > > _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
