Hallo Sebastian, as stated in a previous thread, I have been working on a logger of GPS/GSM data, for the openBmap project [1]. I was almost done when discovering through community updates the existence of your project. I decided to release before getting in touch with you. I had a look at your

For the moment our position is: We log the cell ids we get connected to. We do not log the neighbour cells. The reason is: if we are far from the cells, we will (maybe, this needs experimentation to my point of view) see the cells even very far. I fear that it would stretch the areas, and thus

If you are interested in getting the position of the cells, this point was discussed in the thread I pointed out earlier in this thread: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-January/004064.html Maybe this can help you with your work. Onen Quoting Olivier Migeot larry...@gmail.com:
