for laptop in the car I use Network Stumbler coupling 802.11 to GPS.... or Boingo (Adware) has a cheesy yet effective WiFi sniffer. PCTel also has a cool software that has a 30 day trial on it. for winCE devices I think PocketBoigo is OK.. but PocketWarrier is the king for me. I picked up a Wifi network at 60Mph on the highway called "Landrover" one time.. preaty interesting :) |

Does Net Stumbler require a certain card or will it work with any? |

No it will only work with certain cards. |

While driving down I-5 Between I-16 and Gravelly Lake Dr. I nabbed 27 unsecured networks using Net Stumbler with a regular pcmcia Linksys card. I never would have thought I would get that many without an external antenna (Might try the ol' pringles can someday.) I pulled over in Lakewood and changed my SSID and surfed for a while. I am noticing a very strong peer Network in Tacoma. I even get it at my house but can't connect. I heard a rumor that Tacoma is going for "most unwired city" also. |

I'm a Mac guy what's "changed my SSID and surfed for a while" ? For Mac'ers there is iStumbler, but the best is MacStumbler - both avilable at VersionTracker. -m |

SSID= service set identifier. Basically tells the wireless router what computers belong to that specific network. Helps if more than one wireless network is being picked up by your wireless cards. |

350 + Networks on my travels in the last 2 days. A good portion of them were open. Rich, Can we add a database with lat/long for open networks ? |

My last trip to Spokane I stumbled across a bunch of unsecure networks. Downtown Spokane has a city operated cloud, provided 2 free hours with an email account. A few more unsecured on the south side of I-90 on South hill. The local hotels offered a wi-fi connection. Airway Height has an open cloud but I could'nt connect for some reason. This was with the built in b/g, no externel antenna. I understand Hermiston, ORE has a huge cloud that's open and free. |

Rich, Can we add a database with lat/long for open networks ? Sure. I can probably add map plotting as well. Its easy to do dynamic plots but it requires keeping a huge map reference on the server. In worse case I can always link off to google maps or mapquest. |

My parents have a condo on N 35th in freemont on the 4th floor. As I walk up and down the outside hall I usually pick up 20-30 and some nights no open system. My brother had a rental in a Richland neighborhood and he has 3 open systems to choose from (one story house!). On another subject at the Freemont site I'm always able to connect to 2 or 3 systems - but the wireless router is not connected to the net. also interesting was at one of the open sites I was able to connect and reconfigure the router - which I didn't - lucky for them I'm older than 20... -m |
