Some of us might own a PocketPC with WIFI capability, it will be quite handy when you are waiting for someone or needing certain piece of information online.

However, the problem is sometime you might not be able to get immediate notification of the available Access Points (APs) within the range when you are on the move from one location to another or when your PocketPC already connect to the preferred network. The default WIFI function in the PocketPC will not be able to tell you whether a AP is a WEP or Open network until you try to connect…etc etc (at least that’s what I faced)

So, here’s a cool piece of software, it detects all the available APs in the range (refresh rate is up to you to define), with indication of the of the signal strength (RSSI) and if there’s more than one APs around , you can view it in a Radar View (I really love this view) to see the relative strength of each of the APs detected. It will also shows is the particular AP is Open or WEP protected!

Interested in wardrive? This might help… hahaha’’ BUT, be careful, wardrive might be illegal, depending on the laws of your country…  ^_^

It come with GPS function as well (isn't it just cool??), but sad that I don’t have a PocketPC with that capability, may be some of you might try it and let me know, feel free to write to me if you tried that.

Here’s the link to the cool software and a screen shot of the stunning Radar View of the APs available.
