what did you have in mind for the geolocating via gsm towers and wifi? http://openbmap.org ? do you know any projects which make use of such data (triangulation). this might be very interesting to enhance navit's routing possibilities if it takes to long to get a gps-fix. regards robin _

Hi, the openbmap project proposes a Web API for getting location, based on the GSM data or WiFi. The data is available for offline use too. http://openbmap.org/api/openbmap_api.php5 Your example about navit, has been a target use case for the project for a long time ;-) (speeding up the GPS

hi, I had seen that they also provide an online api, though as far as I understand for each cell that your phone sees it you can get the gps data of the cell. So now you have eg the coordinates and signal strengths from 4 cells how do you calculate where you are. Is there a function for the have f

Hi, for a given cell, it gives you the average position of the cell coverage, based on where it has been "seen" by openbmap logs. I am not sure if the signal strength is being used in computing that position. You should ask on the openbmap website, as I have not worked very much on the algor
