Until you step back into the real world with its walls, windows, rebar, cars, filing cabinets, and such that all block or reflect 2.4GHz to some extent or another. You may create a neat picture with the results you get, but it may or may not be at all useful. Ask anyone who has used direction finding gear and/or done any fox hunts.
Try logging your results of signal strength of an AP in a building. Go all around it and different distances from it. Now, consider the results you would get if you had only driven by it at any given tangent.
I have Netstumbler picking up an AP on every pass at one spot on a road over a mile from any buildings. Things like that can well throw off your averaging.
