It would be cool if they could mesh all the top signals together in the heat map, then when you move your mouse over a pixel it would show you the every AP and its signal strength in a list, or at least the top 3 or 4. So your heat map would really a best server map. I wrote a propagation program in the late 90's, early 2000's to do this for cellular signals. We could even show average throughput on CDMA running it through a simulation algorithm.
