CellFinder has been posted to the Android Market, so if you have a T-Mobile G1, check it out in the Applications/Tools section. The source code is available at the
Codetastrophe Google Code project page. There's also some
documentation. Some of the new features since the
initial post:
- Improved format for data display at top of screen
- Friendler direction/distance display with configurable units
- Configurable location refresh time
- Full-screen map option ("Show cell" data in the Settings menu)
- A few bug fixes
There are a few features I'm planning on adding in the near future:
- Auto update notification
- Keep database of cell tower locations and display those on the map
- GPS satellite locations (see this post)
- Signal strength is some unit other than "asu"
- Redirect user to settings page if GPS or Network location service is disabled
- Help page to show full documentation for all features
So anyways, I was pretty surprised how fast CellFinder showed up on the Marketplace and how soon people starting e-mailing me. I got a lot of positive comments and a few negative ones too. I uploaded it to the Marketplace around 10pm last night, and as of 8:43AM, my stats are:
- 110 reviews, 4/5 stars
- 2235 total installs
- 1823 active installs (81%)

I love this application!
I am anxiously awaiting the update that will "Keep database of cell tower locations and display those on the map."
I would also love the ability to view and record the network details such as frequency band, GSM vs. Edge vs. WCDMA, etc.
Keep up the good work!
