Hello. (First post and I want to share something immediately )
I started scripting a sonar style application that highlights
previously located accesspoints on the map.
This could be useful to test the antenna quality of your wifi card.
On each Netstumbler 'pulse' all APs which are found wil be lit up for a few seconds, before they fade away again. (just like a radar)
This allows you to set up the antenna correctly, and quickly view which accesspoints are in your antenna's 'field of view'
The script was written on a WinXP w/ IE6.0 and needs Internet explorer (probably 5.0 and above)
Since I ran up into some problems and limitations, I thought fellow scripters could use this as a jump-start or just as primary scan addon.
View the screenshot to see how it looks like after I was done scanning. (from a rooftop)
The zip also contains a readme file for more info.
Good luck.

I know everything what's new, seems difficult.. Take your time.. I did too
