Visually map nearby wifi signals with Ekahau HeatMapper
by Lee Mathews Jun 16th 2009
NetStumbler and inSSIDer are cool wireless utilities, but Ekahau Heat Mapper takes things one step further. When you launch HeatMapper, you'll have the opportunity to select a map image - say, one you put together using Autodesk Dragonfly.
Wander around your location and click on the map every time you pause to take a reading, and HeatMapper rolls the collected data into a slick, interactive map. Hover over an access point, and the display updates to show its signal strength.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
