Signal Location Utility is a great application! Thanks for providing it to us RemyJ.

Here are a couple of details regarding my current connection that I would like to see added:
  • Frequency band (850, 1900, 1700/2100)
  • Distance and direction from My location to cell site
  • Markers on map from My Location and Cell site with connecting line between the two

I would also like an application that listed information regarding other network towers in the area that would display:
  • Operator name and Mobile Network Code
  • Frequency band (850, 1900, 1700/2100, etc.)
  • Technology (GSM, Edge, WCDMA, etc.)
  • Location (Latititude and longitude)
  • Signal strength

I am currently using a program called "CellFinder" on my T-Mobile G1 (Android) phone. That application has several of those features. You can read more about CellFinder at GoogleCode and Codeastrophe.

Also, a question about SignalLoc: In Network Details on my 9000, it shows the carrier as "AT&T." However, in the fields for MCC and MNC, it shows 784 and 1040. Shouldn't those fields contain 310 and 380?

Again, I really appreciate your good work, RemyJ! I hope you find some ideas for future enhancements from this post.
