Industry Canada and/or CRTC have a website that lists lat and long for all licensed transmitters - depending on what info your phone is giving you about the tower you're connected too (i.e. Base Station ID?) you could probably figure it out that way.
Sorry but I don't remember the website address, but Google it and see what you get. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Mariotti [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: October 15, 2009 12:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [on-asterisk] Cell Tower Locator? I am in a situation where I have a very weak signal on a cell phone... Specifically iPhone 3GS... Does anyone know how to locate a cell tower that a cell phone is hooked up to? Throwing the iPhone into field test mode "*3001#12345#* Call" gives me lots of information, but how can I actually know exactly which tower I am linked to and exactly where the tower is? As well, most guides online for this seem to not have the same screens displayed). I would like to get a directional antenna and point it directly at the tower. I am aware of this tower mashup but I can't really tell which tower is actually linked. http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html Any advice?
