The unit can be tracked by GSM base station tower, If
GPS signal is not available for example in room or
underground, and then user can be located by GSM
tower.
However, as compared to GPS satellite, GSM accuracy is proven to be worse than that of GPS. GSM
provider utilizes triangulation techniques to try to pinpoint the location of the device, and GSM base
station is further affected by factors similar to GPS in the sense of the barriers affecting signal
quality and the density of GSM towers to assist in the triangulation effort, with some regional areas
having errors of 100M-2KM!
