Yes, that is correct, Multi-path will defiantly fool you unless you use something like what he mentioned, basically collect observations from several directions, and then perform post processing, delete outliers, averaging, ...etc. Mohamed Nezami, Raytheon, Florida, USA "Brian Riley (maillist)" <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] 09/15/2004 11:59 PM To: Larry Mateo <[email protected]>, BAWUG <[email protected]> cc: Subject: Re: [BAWUG] rogue access point detection Remember the only thing a "GPS enabled" 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 ...
