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

Let me check on frequency. I may be able to derive it from the channel number but the API doesn't expose it directly.
Distance and direction are displayed if both the lat/lon of the cell site and the current location are available. It's the last line of the main screen. Double check your font size and make sure it's not pushed off the screen.
Good idea on showing both markers. I'll add it.

- 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. |
Unfortunately, the API doesn't expose any information about neighboring cell sites. CellFinder's got the same problem.

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

Yep, I never noticed that. The values are correct but should be displayed in hex instead of decimal. I'll fix shortly.
