Map WIFI networks

mick.fr · 2008-03-14 10:18:42

Hi, I am looking for a software that scans WIFI network and would be able to represent them on any map with GPS location/range etc. Anyone knows such a software? Thank you

I think http://www.netstumbler.com/ can do this. Worth a look at it anyway.

I found this as well, if anyone is interested.

It seems to be using Google map and scans for WIFI spots.

I am still trying to figure out how this works...

In case anyone is reading this in the future and wants to do this on a Mac, I can recommend Coconut WiFI - link

Free preferably but I do not mind paying a small fee if it does more than the others.
Thanks
