http://www.wefi.com/ seems to be along that lines, the software they are using
seems to be windows only at the moment though :(. But maybe somebody could
write and open source one that still has access to the Google Wifi Mappage that
works with the Neos GPS.

Re: Advertising/hypeKind of OT, but on the GPS thought... one thing it could do
is map WiFi hotspots to GPS coordinates automatically as you walk / drive
around. That way, for example, you could solve that problem of "not being able
to easily find WiFi hotspots" (which is the big thing against WiFi right now),
since you could just pull out the device and ask it where the nearest open
hotspot is. (Boom! There's one). As for point of interest stuff... I don't
think it would be too painful to have an address book that also has GPS
coordinates for your addresses, with a little "set to current location" button
that would tell the device that said coordinates are said address. (And then
the addresses could have tags, such as Theatre, that the device could act on
automatically). Bye,-Dylan McCall
