Howard's dashboard

Is there a way to submit a GPS log from NetStumbler or something? I live in a rural area that isn't really covered but with 1 hour of driving around I could help make a lot of users really happy. – CatsAreGods, on August 23, 2008 14:23

I've thought a lot about this, and I wonder if it's not already happening. The Skyhook people say that the network is self-healing, and that even without rescanning an area the database can learn from users using the system. I don't know why they wouldn't take the GPS and wifi input from users to fine-tune their data. – Chris, on August 10, 2008 04:26

Why not let iPhone users (and others) submit matched Wi-fi locations and GPS locations automatically, then everyone will be "driving around".

The coverage here in Denmark is terrible and fine tuning is only for USA (???). If you have millions of iPhone users submitting locations all the time then this could really take off.
