the 2 that you own and or set up for people?

But thats noting. rndmtask and myself went out driving with high gain antenas and GPS and mapped the area and you wouldent beleve the crap we found.

We have some maps... i dont remember if i ever posted them but man there was alot of stock APs out there. And a few funny ones too!

I have no clue, we used kismet in linux. I think I posted some of the maps way back in march or something.

It's integrated into NetStumbler but you have to have a GPS device hooked into the laptop/desktop.

Yea I have no clue.. I did the driving and rndmtask did the computer stuffs.

Bought my first laptop for my daughter working this summer in the city and subletting an apartment.

She has a wired connection for her internet but when I turned on the lappie initially, the wireless detected two networks out of the three other apartments, one of which I connected to for a few minutes and loaded a couple pages before disabling it on the lappie!

Kinda surprised with all the upload minima coming out but I guess they'll learn.

I spent the day in Ithaca NY today , had my laptop with us as I was playing with streets & trips with the gps,just to get familiar with it , and I had Network Stumbler running and the number of unsecure networks was astounding! I could pull over just about anywhere and have internet access, but I was trying to use the GPS feature on Network Stumbler but didn't have much luck , will it work with Microsoft street & trips W/GPS ?

again no clue on that... we were using linux and totaly different softwares.

Well in linux if you have an NMEA compatible GPS device it will "just work" with gpsd. I would think that netstumbler uses either the NMEA standard or some other program to read from the GPS device. I just looked on their site and its terrible. I can't see where there would be any documentation.

Thanks Rndm , I guess I will have to play with it some more and try to do some research to see if I can get it running. BTW I am running XP and it does use the NMEA standard , maybe I will play with the settings to see if I get it functioning.
