Yeah, good question :) if you would have a complete database you can get your rough location. google uses this for a quick location info bevor gps gets a fix. or you can use it for agps. there you need a location in a range about 50km and that a cell can give you. cells range is about 1-10km so this is a good approximation.
for the most location based services this location info is good enough. think about: "give me a restaurant in the near" or "remind me when i am near this place". you dont have to wait until you get a fix and know in a second where you are. i hope thats enough motivation to build the database together. the best at the end: you get points on the highscore :) Sebastian Fernando Martins schrieb: > Sebastian Hammerl wrote: > >> I created a manual for cellhunter i hope it will help. >> >> you find it under the introduction on the cellhunter homepage. >> >> > Allow me to display my ignorance and ask what is this cell info useful for? > > (no hint the wiki page) > > Fernando > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > >
