    Having looked at it it seems this may be even more accurate, I don't know if phone towers can locate you to within 3 metres.

    They can if you have 3 for triangulation. Most/all phones have GPS enabled these days which make it much easier. I worked for 4 years for the company that have patented a good percentage of cellular location technology http://www.comtechtel.com/public-saf...n-technologies
