Heya,
Another Finn here too. Going to go driving with a friend Saturday, covering some areas in Kirkkonummi, maybe Espoo if we don't find anything, and a little in Helsinki if we have time. No GPS however, as it'll be our first run and we don't have a lot of gear. Got an omidirectional antenna borrowed from work, and I'm going to use it with my Orinoco Gold-card.
Working to set up a Linux machine to be able to find hidden networks, but it might have to be used on an other run.
Nice thing about sniffing here is that according to the Radio Law, anything you send you should expect someone to pick up, so unless you attempt to crack some form of security you're not breaking any laws. And yes, I had this checked with Someone Who Knows.
Towards Autumn I'm heading up to Vaasa for studies, and I'll attempt to find as many hotspots as possible there. I already know of one AP, having seen it mounted on a wall in Åbo Akademi. =P
I'll try to borrow a GPS-thing from somewhere, but if not I'll post any interesting findings.
