I wanted to write a small application that would display locations of
the cell tower that my phone is using. I see that there is
CdmaCellLocation object that has getBaseStationLatitude/
getBaseStationLongitude methods.

1. How should I interpret the int values that these methods return? I
looked in the documentation, and these methods are very poorly
documented.

2. I found a few other applications that show towers on the map.
However, they all use tower  ID to query public databases of cell
tower locations. Why not use coordinates that cell towers report? As
far as I understand cell phone is able to get tower position (from the
tower itself) to support A-GPS? Are the coordinates reported by the
cell towers accurate?

Thank you,
Eugene
