Hot damn!!! This is great !! Gives one the posibility to see exactly where the accesspoint is reachable from. Much more info than what I hoped would be possible to get by using your service.

You used the summary data together with the full export to do this ?

I.E. cleaning up the summaryfile data, and adding the type field with each entry as a W for waypoint, and cleaning up the Full Text export, adding the type field with each entry as a T for track, concatenate the two files into one, and then uploading that file to gpsvisualizer ?

Shouldn't be to hard to adapt Thorn's script to do that in one go, if that is the case..
Added after testing...
I have changed Thorn's script to do the above, but I can't seem to get each accesspoint to show up on it's own track. Did you break down the data, so each accesspoint have it's own datafile ? Or is there a trick here which I'm to dense to see
OTOH by just doing the above, I get a pretty good approximation of the route of my stroll. Going to play with the GPSGATE software mentioned in an other thread, so I can make a seperate track file with the complete route, which then can be overlaid to the map as well. So having a total documentation of where I went physically from my GPS's normal tracker software, as well as Netstumblers loggings with the accesspoints tracks like in your example.
End of addition...

This is great fun, drilling the data down and presenting it Thanks for giving an old man some fun


Just my 0.02€'s worth....
