Although WiFi and Cell Tower positioning are novel there's no way...
It seems like a terrestrial positioning system would be have to deal
with national boundaries, thugs, soldiers, thieves.
And we already have cell-towers, wifi, ham radio, television and other
radiators...
Perhaps mobile devices that know where they are could help their less
able brethren to find their location... kind of like asking people
nearby for directions.
LORAN for boats kinda does the same thing. I wonder why not use
cell towers, television towers, WiFi, and anything you can sense for
positioning? I would think that in dense urban areas, WiFi would be kinda
ideal. This is one of the uses that I wanted to gear WiFiMaps.com towards.
That and finding stolen laptops.
