GSM Location Project

Posted: June 20th, 2006 | 1 Comment »

Similar to CellSpotting and Place Lab, GSM Location offers an application (Nokia Python, not Symbian native) for Symbian phones and an online database to map GSM fingerprints with GPS traces. The collected data are then used to do GSM-based positioning.

Relation to my thesis: Stumbled on this by chance. Not revolutionary, but provides an easy and open framework to do GSM-based positioning for specific areas.
