Hello, I've been a long time fan of netstumbler and I have a question about how it uses GPS to log a location.

Does the log only generate when a new AP is found (grabs the coords) or do the coords update as the signal strength gets stronger?

I'm planning on doing alot of wardriving to get my town on the map so If I drive down one road and netstumbler "Sees" the AP at that location and plots the coords, then I drive down a back street thats closer to the ap will the netstumbler file update the coords since the signal strength is higher?

If not does anyone know of software that does?

Thanks
