So I have found a great new activity while taking the baby for neighborhood cruises in his stroller. I live in a huge master plan and we hit our sub division last night and another this morning. I have id'd 27 APs in two subdivisions - that's better than 15% penetration for Wi Lans, this is San Diego, but those numbers blow me away. Of those 7 have WEP. Others seem to be open.

What next?

Can I port these files to my pc, perhaps to an excel spread sheet for easy viewing? Or better yet to some mapping software. I have not hooked the GPS up to my PC - what desktop software is recommended? I do have an old version of topo, can that be utilized?

Once I have the GPS up and running is there a decent mapping program available for the pocket PC? So I can create a more visual log?

feed me, feed me.......

Off topic - anyone had success with increasing range on their own Lucent RG? I would like to be able to pick up signal at a park down the street - what's a good setup for rooftop antenna?

thanks all - I look forward to contributing whatever I can.

Welcome to stumbling in San Diego. I mostly stumble North County. If you want some Topo software. I have seen copies of Garmin Maps Source Topos in some geocache sites in North County. Another cool thing to do with your GPS. www.geocaching.com
