Re: What GPS hardware should I get?

Well.. my other hobby is Geocaching and there is a peice of code called GSAK that does that conversion from LOC and GPX http://www.gsak.net/ Umm.. If you could provide Vistumbler with a CSV text format, MSST will import from those. Won't be realtime, but will be a start?

Re: .4 mile (643m) wireless link

@ ACalcutt... IF you are running a highly directional Yagi , then I am not supprised that you did not detect it on Kenwood.

Fultering out Null SSID's

So now my DB's are flooded with AP's not broadcasting ssid's. I am not interested in those... They are mostly just the wifi connecting the traffic signals in my area and are, for all intents , just NOISE to me. What string do I use in the filter to exclude null ssid's?

I have same GPS gear.. for $50 with software.. can't beat it. Would be nice if 'stumbler worked with MS Streets and trips software, though
