Not that long ago I found out about this program.
What interested me most where the features in the never released version 2.7-2.
Having a daemon running which detects celltower changes provides an very energy efficient global tracking system (with the emphasis on global).
Unfortunally, the basic setup done in version 2.7-2 has not seen further development for years now.
So I decided to pick up from there to address the missing parts. The main change is visible in an extra screen to manage the cellid data.
The "de-duplicate log" button is useful for eliminating redundant data, as you can have a ping-pong effect between celltowers when you are not on the move. Then you can decide to import into an (sqlite) database for "permanent" storage. You will need an internet connection at that moment, as related positioning info is collected using the google api.
From the data in the database, you can create a KML file for a certain time period. The file can be loaded in Marble on the device, but the best result can be seen in for example google earth.
If there is interest, I could try to contact Saturn, the original developer. If not, we leave things as they are
