Re: [Announce] Snuggle : Geolocation using CellID and Google APIs
 

Hi Debernardis,

When I get some time will check if DBus reports anything on the other (the non connected) cells. It seems many to be asking for this. If I find something maybe I can add it as an advanced method in the UI.

As I said, for the time being, my objective is to have something very light for the battery so that I can have it always on and logging in the background.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Would be a powerful tool for eg. smscon. (The new version never appeared - hijack alert!!!! so ....:)

I will for sure have a command to sent the last location for SMSCON. We have already discussed it briefly with digitalvoid.

On the delay, it is always more complex when two developers, but mostly because the app is way too complex. We are sitting on the new version for some time now - most probably we'll post something at the end of the month.

Interesting thread on getting all CellIDs around:

It is not working for me! I don't get the coordinates when I press "Track on" nor when I check "Get Coordinates". When I activate "Edit mode" and press Image or Browser nothing happens.

Using the terminal to run the program I realize that "Image" and "browser" won't work because there are no values in the coordinates.

So what might be happening?

To clarify: no coords BUT you do get values for the cell id etc? I ask because that sounds like the situation that existed in the version before the current one. Current version is 1.9-1

@seridyan

The database is not complete (it is estimated to have in the order of 200,000 cells registered) and I have seen also places that the Google API would not return a location. In my case, moving ~100 metres further the new cell ID I got returned a location.

Did you try on different locations?

Re: [Announce] Snuggle : Geolocation using CellID and Google APIs
 

Well, I suppose the problem is that I live in Venezuela and there are no registered cells.

Btw, there is a little bug regarding the version. I have installed 1.9-1 but in "about" appears as if i have 1.8-1.

@handaxe: yes, It recovers all the cell info.

Unlikely for the whole country. I see plenty of MCC=734, i.e. Venezuela
but it is possible for your operator. What's your MNC?

Then you must have 1.8-1.

What you get if you do in xterm:

MNC = 2

I have 1.9-1
