IGiGLE: Irongeek's WiGLE WiFi Database to Google Earth Client for Wardrive Mapping

A little app I wrote that lets you directly import data from the online WiGLE WiFi Wardrive database into a KML file, then view it in Google Earth.

Hope someone finds it useful. The code is real ugly right now, but with some more time... If you have ideas for more functions let me know.

Slick!

Are there any tricks for making queries of greater than 60k WAPs or making a query based on "Last Updated"?

Sounds great. I'll check it out as soon as I get back home.

Scruge, I'm on a real slow hotel WiFi link or I'd try it but what does it do if you request the same area multiple times?

You should be able to query an area more than once. For areas with lots of WAPs I may have to add a function to break up the queries into consecutive areas.

Not likely as Autoit is windows only (it uses IE in the background to get the files). The source code is included, so I guess it could be ported into Phython.

I wrote a similar script in Python that runs on Windows, Linux and OS X. I'll give it a few more features, then release it. (at the moment, it queries for SSIDs/BSSIDs, not areas, but it's very easy to change).

I'm getting a "Could not get data from server. Check that your..." message when I do a 0.2 variance on the zip code 89102. It works fine when I do a smaller variance. Also does it get more than the first 1000 networks?
