DING DING DING DING you are correct sir!

when a friend of mine went driving with 2 Ipaq's (his is a 36xx and my is a 38xx series) both with gold classic cards using Mini stumbler .3, what would happen is they would tap each other and suddenly lock onto each other.

We were tracking each other for miles an I do not believe we picked up anything else while they were locked.

Now when Beakmyn and I drove Houston when he was down here (and harvested up enough wifi points to push the Wigle count over 3 million) I was running ms .4 on the ipaq on 1 run and after he got me set up on kismet on one of my laptops never saw that again.


ps, I am planning another drive soon with an old friend of mine I used to work with at an ISP, this weekend he wants to go to a computer shop I know that has an SGI Octane II terminal)
