As I said in a previous post, I don't see why I need to have a GPS to get an approximation of my location. I then suggested using an open source cell list or Google API. So, I have just finished writing a program that parses your kml file from the gsmmap, send the request to Google and it will get your approx location (just like Google Maps on your mobile) and write the result in another kml file. The program is written in Java. To run it under windows:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\bin>java -jar glocation.jar Usage: glocation -i <path to input file> -o <output file>
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\bin>java -jar glocation.jar -i c:\gsm.kml -o final.kml

As I said in a previous post, I don't see why I need to have a GPS to get an approximation of my location. I then suggested using an open source cell list or Google API.
But cell_log is _not_ about finding _your_ location ...
It's about trying to find the location of the _bts_ and for that you need a _precise_ location for you. (or else you're just gonna get unusable garbage out ...)
cell_log would typically be used to create the database like google has to locate (using another software) you only using the bts you can see.

Well, then I'm happy I found another way of how gsm_map can be used :) I would be glad if you could get me some results on how accurate it got your location.
