There is no “hooking” of Wi-Fi to GPS satellites involved. Skyhook uses Wi-Fi hotspot locations alongside GPS and cell towers location in a complex algorithm to calculate a more accurate position. Perhaps you should have read the Wikipedia entry after all. It provides the same information as the company’s official page that was also mentioned in my email. > on this topic.

Academic references are only made while writing a research paper, and not on casual lists. Of course if one doesn’t know the difference in the style of writing a research paper and an email, this can be a big problem. I’m on several mailing lists and forums full of Economists, Mathematicians and Statisticians and none of them make use of references to papers to explain concepts that already exist in the public domain, in fact guess what? They link to Wikipedia to clarify the basic idea behind the concept. Wikipedia contains further references that can be followed up to authentic sources. The job of Wikipedia is to give a quick overview of a concept and provide further more useful sources, which it does quite well. > Anyone can write there > exacly like we do on blogs Blogs are also written by Nobel laureates. The blogs written by famous Mathematicians and scientists have a huge impact on prevalent ideas and eventually on research that finally takes place. For those interested, here is a comprehensive list of GPS software available for India. In all likelihood, they are all inaccessible. http://www.gpsinindia.com/index.php?n=Main.Software "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return." ~ Leonardo da Vinci To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
