I have not seen any halfway decent products but I've not looked recently.

I am more than happy with gpsd, kismet and gpsdrive for finding AP's.

It tells me about any rogue AP's, unauthorized clients, etc.

And it is not costly or crippled.

It should be in every sysadmin's toolkit.

Kismet on a laptop with a directional antenna, such as a panel or even a 
  Pringles can antenna is useful for tracking down a single rogue AP but 
the reflections and multipath sometimes tries one's patience.
