How do I convert my ordinary cell phone into a personal GPS.?

We all know that cell phones work on "triangulation" principle in order to communicate. We can use a simple cell phone, like my Nokia 1100, attached to our laptop to surf the net in a "dial up mode". Even law enforecement use your "last known mobile signal" location to track you. How do they get this "last known mobile signal location?

If it is such, then we can attach a cell phone to the laptop and convert it into a GPS. On the laptop we see where the signal of the cell phone is and hence we get to know our location. We can automate this using Google Maps. But my question is how?

I am a java programmer and inputs from other programmers / techies would be welcome. Thanks..

Portable GPS Anti-Theft Trackers?

I am looking for a GPS tracker. Not something to help figure out where I am but something I can track from my home computer in case my car is stolen.

It needs to be small and portable. I will be using it in my car for a few months however later this year I am hoping to go backpacking in Europe so I will want to put in my pack.

It will need to work in Canada, Europe and Asia.
It needs real time tracking.
I would prefer something that uses Google Earth for tracking.
It needs to either have a chargeable battery in it or use AAs so I can use the charger I already have.

I need something that wont brake the bank and has no monthly fees.

This is a video for a friend of mine with his fleet tracking startup business www.geomoto.com. They provide a GPS tracking service for small to medium size fleets with a very easy install. As part of the service geomoto provides web-based GPS tracking software coupled with Google Maps with access to satellite view to see exactly where your vehicles are. The GPS device installation is the simplest I’ve seen with not antennas or special mounting required. It uses the OBD port of the vehicle to power the device.
