iPhone app for mapping the range of a single access point

Geofrancis · Jul 17, 2012, 01:02 PM

I have installed an outdoor access point and I'm lookin for an app that will let me map the signal stregnth and location then import the data into google earth.

Does such an app exist???

Have you searched for "Wifi Mapper" or "OpenSignalMaps"? I found a few in a search.

Integration into Google Earth may be difficult, depending on what the application uses to store the data. Another alternative might be something like a GPS mapping program, where you can add waypoints to represent the Wifi locations, and add signal strength data, but you'd have to do that manually. Check out "Backcounty Navigator". Files that produces can be consumed by Google Earth, or converted to do so.

Caveat: I found all of these through Google Play on Android!
