Re: Is it Legal to monitor Broadcast Cell Messages
Well considering your phone has the capabilities to monitor cell broadcasts
and they are actually transmitted for your phone to receive I would say you
can.
As for using them for a cheap GPS system, good luck as I don't know how you
are going to do that as a site name isn't going give you much info to go by.

In the USA it is illegal.
Cellular and GPS are not the same and your question doesn't really make sense
unless you want to locate the towers and record their coordinates.
Typically you can look out across the horizon and see towers. Then drive to
them and record the Coordinates.
