Commlink programs.
I'll be glad to see Foo Kune's app soon! (rhyming is unintentional)
In analog days I'd use a communications test set to decode sections of the traffic and get very precise location estimates as the phone translated from tower to tower.
I'm sure methods like that are available to the carriers still (and law enforcement via warrant.)

I think that granular location fixes could be improved by also using WIFI nodes and even the WIFI radio of the phone itself assuming you know the phone specs and signal propagation properties.

These are some of the reasons why I hate seeing the list of permissions apps require.
It makes me more paranoid. Good Luck Denis Foo Kune!

Lastly a question, does airplane mode disrupt this kind of tracking?
