Question about tracking user in a map application using cellid
- by subh
I am trying to understand the concept of cellid (http://www.opencellid.org/api)
As per that, if we send a request
http://www.opencellid.org/cell/get?key=myapikey&mnc=1&mcc=2&lac=200&cellid=234
it will respond with the latitude and longitude.
I was wondering if this can be used from within a google map application for tracking a user or it needs to be used from within a mobile device?
If it can be used from within a web app, what parameters should it use for
mcc: mobile country code (decimal)
mnc: mobile network code (decimal)
lac: locale area code (decimal)
cellid: value of the cell id
E.g., will it work if we know the cell number of the person(e.g., 281 222 6700)
