WiFiFoFum have upgraded their Iphone application and I thought it was well worth posting about because it's making great use of the inbuilt GPS on the 3G Iphone.
We still have the Radar and Networks view.
But now you have the option to enable logging before a wardrive. In the screenshot below you can see a few previous logs.
After creating a log from a wardrive you will be able select it and you'll be asked if you want to view it in Maps or email it to yourself.
If I choose to view the log in Maps I get taken straight into maps and I'm presented with a nice map of all the AP's I discovered on my wardrive.
If you choose the option to email yourself the .kml file you can simply save the file to your PC and then drag and drop the .kml file into Google Earth to see exactly where everything is.
How cool is this eh! The pins retain all the useful info such as encryption, channel number, MAC address etc.....
What would be great would be a different colour pin to denote different types of encryption, but I guess that's making life real easy.
Now go get yourself some exercise and get wardriving!

Ed
thats awesome...think that App can work with the Ipod touch? its almostthe same thing as the iphone
I don't think the touch has a built in GPS. Do you have an external one?
Thanks Ed. Thanks for throwing a link in twitter.
Hi there,
Just curious if this does actually work with the iPod touch? The logging that is? Everything else works grand it's just the logging I'm curious about. You couldn't upload a screenshot of your settings?
Thanks,
Dave

Does your touch have a GPS to collect the logging information? I know when i had a touch (1st generation) it didn't have a built in GPS.

That'll be the problem. Picked up a cheap first generation in order to check this stuff out and I've neglected to notice the GPS.
It's grand however the rest of the stuff is more than enough to go on.
Thanks again, looking forward to more stuff on the iPod/iPhone wardriving in the future.
Well, I bought Wififofum, only to discover they upload the GPS loads to their own server before you can view them in Google Maps.
Total dealbreaker. I really DO NOT want to have someone else have access to my whereabouts. What is worse is their application sends them my iPhones unique ID.
So please do not support Wififofum. :(
Yeah that is a downer about there access to your logs but in my opinion the software has enough features without the GPS logging to warrant the £2.00 price point. Unfortunately, wardriving with an Iphone still has a way to go. Of course there is kismet but i hear that it won't run on the Marval chipset so at the moment WiFiFoFum is the best there is for GPS logging.
