UK P800 + 7650/3650 owners
If you're in the UK, and have a P800, or a Series 60 phone, and know how to install software, I've got a request.
I'm trying to find out how accurate sitefinder is (sitefinder is the only way of finding out where your local mobile phone transmitters are, in the UK), and whether Psiloc's MiniGPS could be useful for location.
Instructions:
1. install MiniGPS from here: P800, Series 60 - 7650, 3650.
2. set miniGPS recording cell IDs from where you are currently.
3. go to sitefinder, click on the UK or NI, type your current postcode in, and get a map of your area.
4. locate the closest transmitters for your network: select View Base Details and click on the triangles.
5. Note the Operator Site Ref. for each transmitter.
6. Post a comment to here, containing which network you're on, the cell IDs that miniGPS has collected, and the site references from sitefinder. it'd be great if you added the first part of your postcode, but that's up to you.
For extra points, walk to your nearest transmitter, see if there are any identifying signs, and make a note of the cell ID on miniGPS - tell me if it matches that on sitefinder.
Thanks!
(oh, and if you're a P800 programmer, preferably in C++, please get in contact)
