Hi All,
I am MSc student, doing my final year project. I want to get the Cell ID and it's GPS locations. I can get the GPS locations, there are lot of code samples.
But not for CEll ID/Tower ID which I am currently connected.
I have tried "Field Test", this is what excatly wanted, I need a source code.
Can some one help me to get the Tower ID using C++ or C# ?
Ganesh
mail me which phone do you have give details
To get the CellID of the tower use RIL_GetCellTowerInfo()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923065.aspx
RIL is the Radio Interface Layer. If you don't know what the RIL is, start here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa920475.aspx
The function will only give you the unique ID of the tower, not its location. Google use their own web service to translate this into GPS Coords.
Another spanner to be thrown into the works, is that it is up to the OEM how the RIL is implemented, and whether all items items are supplied filled in on the various RIL_Getxxxxxxxxxxxxx functions to query the state of the radio.

Is anybody interested in this?
If there are some votes I could build an application which provides a infrared to datamodem proxy.

This feature is already part of the new 3.16 ROMs currently under test.
Thx for the info.

If you are looking for a project, would you consider this?
I have a tracking unit in my car. I can send it an SMS message from my XDA and it will return a full GPS NMEA string with a header. Can anyone tell me the feasability of writing an application that could post this incoming data directly to the TomTom maps program and display the vehicles exact position at street level.
The GPS application supplied with TomTom maps can obviously do this with streaming NMEA strings through the serial port.
If this application is possible I think there is a lot of potential. I am in the telematics business and I know that the majority of tracking devices work the same way.

I think it's possible to write this application. All you have to do is to build a virtual serial port driver in Platform Builder and to check incoming SMS messages in a user level application.
If you are interested in a real bussiness project just let me know.

hi @all
a REALY GOOD project would be to use the WM as GSM Gateway. that would be the HIT

We are looking for a solution that allows us to track the position of several Qtek 2020 all equipped with GPS. The idea is that a local application sends the current position to a central server and a webserver displays the positions on a map.
Do you now any solution like that?
Thanks,
Guido
Track position of two or more GPS connected devices
Saw this in another posting...
http://www.jgui.net/gps/gpswait/
Seems to offer some of the functionality you're after.
This company offers a solution which uses GPRS rather than GPS. The map can be viewed from any web browser (assuming you know the user name and password) and there is no limit to the number of units

Thanks for the information:
http://www.jgui.net/gps/gpswait/ is doing the tracking by SMS, which is not what I am looking for.
The link http://www.cms-uk.net/ is not working.
Any other ideas.
Thanks

I am looking for an adviser/consultant to develop an aplication to pass data from a pc to pda (XDA IIi or cross-platform) and vice versa via gprs (not sms). The application should also be able to integrate with TomTom for navigation and tracking on the base station. The application is intended to be used in vehicle fleet management. Ready to pay for the right service - pls email [email protected] if interested. UK-based developers preferred.

have look at roadtech www.roadtech.co.uk there roadrunner system sounds like it could be for you

I am not looking for someone that could advise and/or help write the source code for the system. the source is needed for integration into another application.

Dear all
correction!!
my last post should read:

You just need to transfer data between PC and PDA via GPRS? That's easy enough isn't it?
Integrating into GPS etc should also be fine, sending packets of locator info from PDA's GPS to cross reference with POI in PC based navigator programs...

Can you please point me in the direction of some sample code or text books on this. thanks.
i'm away from any desk right now but you're just after tcp connections and/or rapi i think...check pocketpcdn for a start...we can chat when i get back from holiday next week.

Hello,
First, thank you in advance for any help that you may give. I am looking for a developer to write me a bit of software for personal use.
Basically, I would like an application that when it launches, it starts the GPS, gets the current location, and then sends this info via GPRS to a back end server. The server then sends back a list of html links that have been geocoded. The links are pushed back to the windows mobile device based on a pre-configured (and user definable) radius from the current location.
If anybody is interested in building this for me, I am willing to pay a reasonable fee. Please let me know.
A company I work for has such a solution just now in Beta Test. They will have a final version working within the next 2 weeks.
The Software should be free, but the service they include not (Map and Call Center).
Hi everyone!
You know everyone's worrying about privacy these days and I was just thinking about the "my location" service on our mobiles.
Does anyone know for sure how it works? As far as I know it seems to take the Cell ID and get the name and weather through an Internet connection. Is that right?
Which database is it connecting to? I know for sure that the place I live at isn't on accuweather, where the weather on Sense is usually taken from and the weather displayed under "my location" is different from the weather for the nearest place that's on accuweather.
Moreover is it possible to find out which data exactly is sent to that database (which seems to be something "Google" because you have to accept some terms initially)?
The phone masts send out a cellID which is passed to google and it triangulates you based on your nearest towers.
Rmour has it google has a huge database of tower names and locations, so once it has a location it can pull up a post code and pass that to accuweather to get back the weather for that area.
It seems that google dont have a complete list of cell id's, and some towers dont transmit their cellid, hence some areas giving my location problems.
google also uses the info for traffic updates and traffic congestion calculations
Is there a way to disable the my location?, i sort of found it in the tweaks thread but i dont understand how to do it.

Just go to settings/location and you can disable it there.
you can do it in regstry.... current user/software/htc/manila.... enablecurrentlocation set to 0 (zero)
The database is by Google. It is supposed to be anonymous, as long as you don't turn Latitude on in Google maps. You can even store history of your location, but that is turned of by default, and can be controlled via web interface of your Google account.
Also note that your service provider can detect your location independently. In some countries this location can, or even must, be archived for some time.
Furthermore if you have Wifi enabled My Location will sniff for wireless packets and depending on the APs MAC addresses will be able to detemine a more accurate location as the Street View vans sniffed packets and uploaded MAC adresses along with GPS co-ordinates to aid their service.
since we're onto wifi sniffing etc for location finding, heres an off topic but interesting proof of concept page that can pin your home pc down to a pretty narrow area just from your home ip address, and which works using googles location service.
Its not nearly as acurate as the real location service, but still got my house to within 500 yards, using my virginmedia ip address.
