A method for determining the location of an improved carrier signal emitted by a base station relative to the position of a communication device, the carrier signal having a signal strength, and the communication device having access to a digital map. A determination is made to determine the signal strength of the carrier signal at the current location of the communication device; locating an adjacent location on the digital map and determining the signal strength at the adjacent location; and in response to a greater signal strength being determined at the adjacent location, displaying the direction of the position of the adjacent location on the communication device.
