3G tower location?

[mblake4u]

Hello,

Can anyone help me with the GPS co-ordinates of my nearest 3G towers - I'm think I'm just outside of coverage and would like to know where to point my antenna?

I'm in Harkerville, Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape. It's along the N2 from Plett to Knysna and my GPS co-ordinates (according to Google Earth) are:

34 degrees 2 minutes 56.23 seconds S
23 degrees 16 minutes 28 seconds E

I'm finding it really frustrating being outside of coverage and it would be a great help if anyone could give me 1 or 2 towers to point to.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I tried your approach and was ignored. I then drove around and located two towers visually. I was able to get close to one and recorded the coordinates with a GPS. The other tower's coordinates I got off Google Earth. I then bought a Poynting antenna and used my GPS to align the antenna. MDMA confirmed that the tower slightly further away provided a better connection.

I know android has an app to locate towers,works too on 2G. Couple years back the cb used to tell us now 60 does not. Another method I saw on the old vodacom website gave you a list of every tower by the area that it was in,just have a look at about us and ratio or health or how towers effect us,something but its there

Hi Michael
Which ISP are you with, how is your connection? I am trying to find the nearest Cell C tower to Keurbooms.

And the Vodacom forum seemed like the best place to:
a) invoke thread necromancy
b) ask about a Cell C tower
