anyone know how this iPhone 'location based service' works?

I'm wondering if they have access to cell tower IDs and locations, using some kind of IP domain loc lookup, or if this is just another 'click on your location on a gmap' app.

Ian,

After hacking around on my phone a little, I figured out a way to list all visible networks via an AT command. If you're interested, I can elaborate.

AT+COPS=?
+COPS: (2,"T-Mobile",,"31026"),(1,"Cingular",,"31041"),,(0,1),(2)

Unlikely question of the day....

Anybody know of a device that indicates which network(s) provide reception in a given area? Call it a 'cellular sniffer' if you like...

My hack to get this done is to carry 4 cellphones bound with duct tape. When I'm done using it, it will be the perfect mobile for a baby's crib!!

But I'd prefer a slightly more, er, elegant hack.
