Abstract

A mobile terminal and system and method for determining the geographic location of the mobile terminal. A current cell identification number is determined for a cell in which the mobile terminal is located. The geographic location of the mobile terminal is determined based on data including at least one geographic position stored in a database and associated in the database with data representing the current cell identification number. The database may be updated with the geographic location and the current cell identification number.
