= Collecting data =
There are several ways to collect data which can be used for the heatmap application. Right now, Kismet's 'netxml' and 'gpsxml' are supported, as is Droidstumbler's csv output.

Data can be gathered using smartphones with gps or a notebook/netbook with gps dongle. An example is the use of an EeePC with a Sweex usb-wifi-adapter and Haicom usb-gps-adapter (mouse), see the [http://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/node-config/fotos/heatmap/index.html pictures]. Software used: Ubuntu with gpsd and kismet.

== Installing Kismet ==
Rick wrote some detailed instructions on installing [wiki:kismet].

== Where to save ==
You can save your data to: {{{http://webfolder.wirelessleiden.nl/scan-data/<your name>/<your device>/<YYYY-MM>/<file>}}}

So for example: {{{http://webfolder.wirelessleiden.nl/scan-data/rick/kismet-setup-1/2011-05/Kismet-20110510-13-18-32-1.netxml.gz}}}
