Re: switch to wifi when in range?

There are several great profiling tools out there for GSM devices, but unfortunately I don't know of any *good* way of accomplishing that on a CDMA device. On GSM networks you can freely access Cell ID (cell tower) information to give you a decent estimate of your current position. This method allows you to get a location fix without the need for GPS, which not only drains battery, but also isn't available indoors. You could probably come up with a more hacky solution using Mortscript, but you would need some kind of trigger (time of day, etc.)
