I don't have a GPS, yet, but I've wandered around the city just to check out NetStumbler (even found a use for it at work with the power graph feature, seems AirPorts are a lot more powerful by default than Avaya APs).

Thus far, I've found about 68 APs with only about 15 using WEP. I drove by a co-worker's house and got him to enable it on his network when I told him how many other people in his neighborhood were using WiFi.

Around Huntville, there's a high concentration of APs in the richer parts of town east of the Parkway than in the middle/lower income neighborhoods I've stumbled thru. I was somewhat relieved to find no APs near any of the banks I passed, but I found a few downtown and a bunch thru Research Park. Linksys is by FAR the dominant brand. I'm hoping to borrow a GPS soon so I can upload my stumbling results.

Anyone else in the HSV/NorthAL area?
