Re: Hmmm

I'm not sure how much I can answer, but I'll try.

Were the APs at identical waypoints, or were some of the waypoint coordinates "out of bounds" or invalid?

If the map program cannot handle multiple waypoints with the same coordinates, then I'm not sure what can be done except to beg the developer for an enhancement. The program is available at JDMCox.

Colored dots are a feature of the program. I have not expiremented with that possibility yet, but its one I want to explore. I'll post my findings.

Creating a route or line can be done, but so far it appears that the application uses map "northing" coordinates, not lon/lat coordinates. I have not researched that fully either. I'll let you know what I find on that as well.

Found a small issue.

I had a ns1 file w/ approx 139 aps on it...... When I did the conversion w/ the above mentioned util, only 68 of them were copied as waypoints..

This is due, from what i can figure, to the fact that many ap's were found at the same gps coordinates... So it only plots one....

I think this setup is awesome, but becuase of this one thing, it has some limited capabilities..

Suggestions for possible enhancements - please advise if feasable or not.

1) Color coded dots... red for wep'd aps and green for open..
2) If multiple aps are registered to the same gps coordinate - to have a second (or third, fourth etc..) dot in the same location to list that AP.. Or maybe have a diff color dot and when you click on it it will open up a 'batch' window showing all ap's in that location... some way should be figured out for this problem, as you can loose a majority of your ap's..


I haven't even played with this, but is it possible for this mapping software to track, or draw a line, following where you are and where you are driving?? (using like commfoolery or some such thing, run this and ns at the same time, and have the mapping softwar track your route, and then convert your ns1 logs later on.. so then you have your route and your aps displayed at the same time...


Great program(s) though!!! Love em!!
