I think the inverse is probably true, but we'll never know. Google likely had plans to drive around the streets to map wireless connectivity as a survey, and probably thought 'stuff it, lets take pictures while we're at it'. -S From: Sam James [mailto:sam(a)samcamfilms.com] Sent: Friday, 3 July 2009 1:41 PM To: Sean K.

You can export logs etc and play with some xml files and do what you like. Andy's comment just popped up then, Wi-Spy with visiwave is an option. Sam Also Ubiquti's "AirView" products might help you. If you want decent results get a $700+ spectrum analyser On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 3:14 PM, Sean K.

I'm wondering what you use to track wireless signal from a base station to see what the footprint is. I.e. I would like to drive around down all the streets where this hotspot is located to plot a map of what signal strength is like in this location for a specific AP, I will circle the streets around the AP until I've lost all signal and hope to have some sort of map to work with :) Any help offlist would be appreciated.
