Getting tower location instead of gps
I have a GSM / GPS module connected to a microcontroller, communication between them is working fine. I can get GPS and send it to Microcontroller, but there are times when the device is inside a building, so I cannot get the current GPS location, I want to get the tower location instead.
The AT command that I use to get the LAC and CI response looks like this.
Command: AT + CREG = 2
Answer:
Hence LAC = 2BCB or 11211
and CI =2B9A or 11162
The SIM card I am using is registered with T-Mobile, so MCC = 310
and MNC = 260
by viewing them here . However, when I plug in these values ββin this website , I don't get it.
What am I missing?
I noticed when I try to check the current network using AT + COPS? I am not getting the same results as shown.
Can I manually set the network information? If so, please someone provide me with the correct format. I tried sending At + COPS = 4.2, "310 260" but it gave me an error.
Here is the AT command file . I follow it, it has a different format. Thank!
