So I still don't get the point of mapping things you cant use.

I don't think so, but IANAL.  I define wardriving as just driving around
and seeing what networks are out there, but not actually connecting or
using any of their bandwidth.  It's no more illegal than listening to
the
radio in your car.

Of course.  Lots of networks out there are intentionally left open to
the
public.  You want to find out where they are, so you wardrive.  Do some
homework though.  Just because a network is unsecured doesn't mean it's
public.... the same way me leaving my front door unlocked doesn't give
you
the right to come in and snoop around (even if you don't steal
anything).
