multiple instances of a mac address? Many of my uploads are of the same general track and I would not want to clutter the DB with repetitve (crap I can't spell today) macs.

Sort answer: Yes

Long Answer: The WiFiDB keeps track of each run. Based on mac address and some other things it determines if the AP being imported is new or an update. If it is new it is counted as a new AP. If it is an update, the gps and signal history is saved, but it does not add to the total APs in the DB.

Dont worry about adding in extra info for old APs its just going to add to the Signal History and GPS histroy,
and will even help the GPS by getting more accurate corods over time. :D
