The dot locations don't have a very high resolution.  Near where I live the 
grid means that 'touching' dots are at closest half a mile apart.  So you can't 
tell the pinpoint close enough to see whether it's indicating the phone's 
location or the base station's location.

There are still battling articles about this: one author writes one thing 
another writes something else that can't be conciled with it.  I guess we won't 
know for sure until someone reads the source code, or Apple explains precisely 
what it does.
