Yep, works quite well. The tower locations seem to be coming from a database and are reasonably close to their actual location. The location shown on the map is the database location of the specific tower you're using, *not* 'your' location, there is no triangulation going on here, it's simply querying the tower for some data on itself. Beyond that, the author isn't saying how it works. :)

I've only tried it at work and at home, and both locations give me the same consistent tower location, and it's so far less than .2 miles from my actual location, so that's close enough for finding what's close by for shopping, etc. And it works reasonably fast, and probably even faster if you shell out the $10 for no ads.
