Well if you mean obtain coordinates via triangulation it is

technically possible but in reality we are constrained by the GSM

operators and what information they are willing to give us. If you are

a large corporation such as Google and throw them some money you will

get access to such data. As Joe Public you will probably have to rely

on closed third party API's (e.g. Skyhook) to access similar

functionality or alternatively try one of the community driven

database lookup approaches.
