About Tower Collector

Tower Collector gives you opportunity to contribute in OpenCellID.org, BeaconDB and @t0stbrot projects by uploading GPS locations of GSM/UMTS/LTE/CDMA/TD-SCDMA/5G (NR) cell towers from your area. The measurements help map the extent of mobile phone network coverage. You can use the app to collect data for personal purposes and export them to various files.

Some features:

• specially optimized GPS parameters to reduce battery drain

• upload to OpenCellID.org, BeaconDB and @t0stbrot projects

• export to SD card as CSV, JSON, GPX, KML and KMZ.

• ad-free, forever!

The OpenCellID.org project goal is to create a worldwide open source database of mobile cell locations. Tower Collector gives you opportunity to contribute in OpenCellID project by uploading cell towers locations from your area. Collected data can be used to quickly locate devices without enabling GPS.
