Locative Technology on Nokia Series 60 phones

Christopher Schmidt [1] seems to have implemented, what we recently discussed [2] at a bloggermeeting. As Chris writes:

One of the benefits of having the ability to work with the phone is that there is an interface to the cell tower you are connected to. With this information, it\’s easy to make a \”Where I\’ve Been\” type of interface. This is one of the first projects I did when I got the phone: The output of my wandering can be seen, although it\’s very incomplete due to limitations of the program.

I wrote down an idea of refinig the \”cell tower position\” via a look-up table [3,4], where the position of each tower will be determined with a GPS. But Chris script is a good start giving a reasonable resolution already.
