There are several sites [1] where you can look up the geographical coordinates of a GSM tower based on its CellID, MCC (Mobile Country Code), MNC (Mobile Network Code) and LAC (Location Area Code). The problem with these sites is that their databases are filled by volunteers and the coverage is at almost useless level. However it seems that companies like Google and Nokia have their own databases used in conjunction with their maps applications which are astonishingly accurate and complete.
So the question is how to (if possible) get information form these databases for personal use.
The answer is: www.9mhz.info
You can use this site to get the location information of a cell tower. This page uses the Google maps database and shows the location on the map.
