is there any open source database of Antennas of mobile towers (gsm/cdma) ?

Is there any way we can find the direction of tower based on signal strength ?

Is there a way to find the distance from tower ?

i am a android programmer and want to develop an application using the information of cell tower. what i know is that mobile can extract MNC,MCC,CID,LAC code from tower but NOT latitude and longitude . also a mobile can detect 6-10 towers in its range but connects strongest one .i am also aware that each antenna cover approx 120 degree so ideally a tower should have 3 antennas.

correct me if i am wrong. thanks .
