I’m able to get a response containing cell tower data about 50% of the time when using the Electron Troubleshooting App as described here. The other 50% of the time the communication with the modem is lost and I have to reset the Electron to continue using the app. There’s a bug that needs to be tracked down and I plan to make a GitHub Issue for it as I haven’t seen one open already.
I can use the cell tower data to get my location (fairly accurately with limited testing) with Unwired Lab’s API.
