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 Garmin Etrex. Software used: Ubuntu with gpsd and kismet. Rick wrote some detailed instructions on installing kismet.
