Interesting to see there was an opensource initiative to map cellIDs. Don’t know if Google made the same process for Google Maps MyLocation but I guess its very similar. Would it be possible to integrate such technology for SMS/USSD Development?

I am fully aware this process is possible, however, I’m wondering if it is possible without installing any application (most likely j2me) on the mobile?
