Red face If I may be allowed to humbly show my setup?

My vehicle is a '99 Plymouth Breeze
iPAQ 3835 running Windows Mobile 2003
Compaq WL110 WLAN card
PRO-Clip Dashmount



Lucent Range Extender Antenna (hung upside down behind (or in front of???) rear view mirror)
Pharos iGPS-360



Not Shown: 5GB Kingston Hard Drive for MP3's whilst stumbling, homemade Pringles Cantenna, and 4" diameter soup can with a 4" to 6" HVAC adapter that gives me ~3dB gain!

The GPS is more for navigation than for gathering LAT/LON of APS (I use Deleo's Routis 2004), although I have collected, as of today, 2227 APs in the past 3 months (not a typo, it's two thousand, two hundred and twenty seven) since I set this up (before the Lucent antenna, I only had about 750). The area I have covered is most of Gloucester County (through developments and on major roads and highways), parts of Salem, Cumberland, Atlantic and Camden Counties (mostly while driving down major roads) in the beautiful state of New Jersey.

I live near Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ and have picked up their engineering lab, RowanOpen (both spots using Cisco gear) and many others in dorm rooms, all while driving down 322 .

This may not be as elaborate as some others I've seen (like the JC Whitney truck with the 12" touch screen), but I can stumble with my family (although my wife doesn't realize I'm doing it ), or my friends and even compare our finds when I pick up what they don't!

Thank you for letting me show off my setup!!!
