Anselm,

This is very true. I would imagine that an effort in the iPhone dev community can be made to reverse engineer (through a debugger) how the FieldTest.app actually functions. Similar techniques were used to reverse engineer the SimFree.app (IPSF commercial unlock application) in order to produce the free and open source version. It shouldn't be unreasonable to look to see what the FieldTest application is actually doing. A direct API may not actually exist, but we could technically write a static library for performing the same activity.

I would imagine that this functionality lives in the same baseband firmware as the unlock. I've been meaning to take a deeper look myself, having been both a GIS/GPS and iPhone enthusiast.

Kevin,

That would be great. Please let me know if I can help in any way, and keep us updated on progress.

Thanks,
Martin
