    iPods in 2008 used some similar database to geolocate themselves. It was kept up to date very good (found out when I moved, haha).
    Google street view vehicles should be capturing this as well.

    I'm kinda with you Josh, it would be a fun build because I like kit building, but not sure how often I would use this as far as a regular basis. I think the case design has flaws and would frustrate someone in the assembly process. There's definitely a learning curve to using this for those like me who have never done this before, but still very interesting. I about died when the screen cracked on you! Wow! Great video as always. Take care. 73!

    Back in the early days of wifi, I drove around with a thinkpad running linux with kismet and gpsdrive with a pcmcia card set to promiscuous mode. My gps was a garmin connected via serial port. most of the hotspots had no security at all back then, and the ones that did had WEP.

    Google street view vehicles do wardriving.
    Use a laptop with Kismet. It is an open source sniffer, WIDS, wardriver, and packet capture tool for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BTLE, wireless thermometers, airplanes, power meters, Zigbee, and more.
    Kismet runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL).
    Kismet can operate both headless as a standalone capture and WIDS system, or with a full modern web-based UI.

    On small gauge wire like that, I like to heat the end up with a flame, then use my thumb nail and forefinger to strip the insulation. Wired a few race cars doing that, and you build up a decent callus after a while.

    The most powerful WiFi radio is the EnGenius EUB-9603H 600mW 2.4GHz USB adapter. It has an RP-SMA connector so you can run an external antenna. It is a beast. With the laptop, you pick up 3 networks, with it, you pick up 30.

    It's a neat device but I'm not sure what the point is if it's not for illegal purposes. What's the point of knowing where unprotected wifi signals are if you're not going to attempt to use them?

      It's no different than fox hunting, direction finding, of scanning shortwave to see what you can pick up... once it moves beyond simply logging observed signals, then it's a crime. True wardrivers don't do that, criminals do.

    Re: the wires giving you fits. I bet you one QSO that it's your eyeballs rather than caffeine. I bought a binocular microscope and that problem went away for me. You can also get by with a head-mount magnifier - I've got one that I bought at radio shack years ago, but the scope is so much better. That said, thru-hole soldering projects do kind of suck. SMD is far easier if you have the proper tools (hot air instead of hot iron).
