there used to be one for Android.
Should be out for Iphone any day.
The logic it uses is GPS co-ordinates of online users are uoloaded  in any case as cell address by mobile service operators.
If your contact list has mobile numbers then they can be checked if they are in the same or adjoing cells, provided the cell copanies share that info. For same cell company it is very easy.
