Try Netstumbler. You will have to convert the logged GPS and signal strength
to a map but it is not hard.

Subject: [smartBridges] Wireless network mapping


Here's what I envision, I'm wondering if anyone has seen something like
this.

I want to have an omni-directional antenna mounted on the roof of my truck
connected into a computer.  There would also be a GPS receiver connected
into this computer.  The computer would log the SSID, MAC, Channel, Crypto
Status, and location say every second.  This could then be mapped on a
topological map showing signal strengths and such with one map per SSID.

This would allow me to map my wireless network while I just drive around
much like Verizon does.

Anybody?
