Thanks for the info. My specific question was about whether you've collected many "stumbling" datapoints per hotspot, or just one. It sounds like you have many... this is what is desirable when it comes to mapping the clouds to visually show how far they extend and where they overlap, etc. Just having one datapoint per hotspot, even if that point does have signal strength, is obviously not enough to generate a nice fancy map -- only a set of dots.
I'd like to try to use the data you've collected, in some of the mapping scripts I've seen. The next time I'd have a chance to try this is on the weekend... also, if you've gotten a GPS/PC hookup going for the stumbling, I'm curious about that too -- I haven't gotten my GPS's serial connection to work for me yet, in linux or windows. regards, Ben PS - I suppose this is another call-to-arms for other interested parties....
