This tutorial shows how to approximate your current location in the world using the CellID ( CellTowerID ) and LAC ( Location Area Code ), by requesting data, from a 'secret' Google-API.

For this project, my goal was to get GPS data into my Mac for some visualization experiments with ActionScript. After some initial prototypes that worked well using an RS232-to-USB converter, I decided that wasn’t slick enough and had it too many wires. I like things nice and clean around my desk, so I opted for adding Bluetooth in place of a USB converter.
