Remember the only thing a ³GPS enabled² sniffer/stumbler program does is to
make note of the GPS coordinates of your location at the moment of the
greatest signal strength it has recorded for that access point. That is all
it does. You could be hundreds of feet from the site. There is nothing easy
about it!

Your best bet is multiple passes from different directions until you have it
Bracketed, then average the GPS coordinates. Even then there are so many
variables you will still be down to some serious snooping/educated guessing!

Cheers ... BBR
