cell tower locator without unbranding your bold

[my240sx88]

Does anyone know of an app or a way to locate cell towers in my area with google maps? I searche googles and came up with nothng so it probably doesn't exsist, just checking through you guys too

It does exist. It's called SignalLoc and is a wonderful app. And it's free! Google that. It locates cell towers as you move about and saves them on your device for future reference, if you wish. It will also plot them on a map using google maps or bbmaps. Just a great app. Let us know what you think!

Couldn't find the program. Is there a Crackberry rule against your posting the URL?

Here it is: Signal-Location Utility for Blackberry

Search the forums for "signalloc"

ok thank you jeff, i was under the impression you needed to have your bold debranded in order to use this app, i guess thats only if you want to force it onto the EDGE network. thanks again

I used signalloc with a Verizon phone. Unlocking or unbranding had nothing to do with it. I suspect you are thinking of another thread posted in the last couple of days. It talked about using signalloc in conjunction with other tools to force your phone onto a particular tower or service. I believe that technique required unlocking your phone. Signalloc by itself does not, or at least, did not when I was using it.

yea thats what i was thinking of, so far do love it. Lets me know where the cell towers are. A couple buddies of mine have iPhones, they love this app.

yea that was my thread. i was showing people how they can manually select another tower in their area in the engineering menu. but i was also showing how signal location utility will show you on a map where that tower is.

Which application is that which shows you the towers on the iPhone?

Also, is there any reason why my Signal Lock only gives the option to show the cell tower some of the time, not all of the time?

Signalloc is the one I was writing about. I'm not familiar with the other two apps.

I don't have a clue what app the iPhone uses, i was just saying my friends who own an iPhone are envious. The reason it doesn't show location all the time is sometimes the app gets hung up and doesn't display the coordinates
