How many APs have been found in different locations?
That is something we have been pondering over for a little while now. I'm thinking it would have to be an extra export separate from the User Lists one. As far as flagging the AP, that could be possible, we could just look for a large difference in the GPS history vs the new GPS points. Its going to...

In the "Files Already Imported" section of the WiFidB, for each uploaded file there's a field entitled "APs/GPS Count" which displays the raw number of APs captured as well as the total GPS position count. Is there a way, since the WiFidB knows if an AP has been seen before, to ...

Jon, you gave us the larges bulk, so its all thanks to you really!
But thanks to everyone that has imported, the database has gotten to 1M AP's a lot sooner than I ever imagined it would.

I was just thinking of that multi-AP graphing I wanted to do for some time, instead of sending the data via the URL and a GET (and run out of length in the URL), we could have vistumbler upload a VS1 file with the APs that you want graphed and then parse that.
