Getting Cellular location data from 3G modem
-1
Any idea how to get Cellular location data when using 3G modem? It is more a generic question, but if hardware matters, lets say we are using Huawei E3131 USB modem in HiLink mode and Ubuntu 12.04 or later.
Thanks

Please, who ever is is trying to answer, do not confuse A-GPS with actual GPS sensor data. A-GPS location is based on the cellular network, not actual GPS satellite communication.

OK, probably I mistaken using A-GPS as a term. My question is how do we get the triangulated location from the cellular network?

I think there is some confusion here. The modem you describe does not have a GPS reciever built in. The only thing you could try is to do a triangulation with cell phone towers to estimate you position.
A GPS lock is not possible.

Sorry, but you are wrong. A-GPS is a network assisted GPS. This means that your GPS has a faster startup time, but you still need the GPS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
