Dallas WifiMashup – 3/5/06

Mar 05

I visited some friends in Irving this weekend and brought along my 8125 and Bluetooth GPS receiver. I promise to post on my configuration in the next few days. On my drive home to Dallas I decided to scan for wireless access points. While leaving my old neighborhood I found about 10 access points in the span of a couple of blocks where over half of them were completely open. If you take a look at the current coverage map you’ll see that out of 117 scanned almost 50% of them are wide open. Here’s the link to the interactive version:

and here’s a screenshot:

As the database continues to grow it will be interesting to see how the percentages of open/closed access points will change.
