Answer 1

If you need Antenna location you don't need Timing Advance. Then you need LAC, CID etc. which are all part of the public AOS API, and then you can query some public database for the location of these. There are dozens of Android apps that already does this. Perhaps even as an example app for Android developers. Google it.

However, GSM Timing Advance (TA) knowledge is definitely still of interest for several other reasons. So if someone know how to extract this info from the Android vendor RIL, please let us know.
