I think the fingerprinting approach would be better. Simply store the raw readings of cell tower ID and signal strength mapped to locations, and use a little AI to intelligently infer your unknown location from known cell IDs and signal strengths. This could take into account interference from buildings, mountains, etc, rather than try to map out every single cell tower then perform the triangulation. Actual triangulation using signal strength would assume every tower has identical antennas and transmit power, and is uniform 360 degrees around.

Unfortunately, the data is available only from data integrators who have contracts with the wireless carriers. There are some interesting projects whereby people have tracked either visually or electronically the strength and location of GSM cell sites including the cell-id.
