You could run Netstumbler, with a GPS, walk arround outside your
building, and upload your files to http://www.WiFiMaps.com -- we do a
weighted-average triangulation method, but you'll be able to see sortof
where it is, and where your GPS has picked-up what signal. We'll put up
1-meter aerial photos for your area if you wanna see your specific
building, we have all of the streets for all of the US loaded now.
