in Techie Stuff
I am looking for a (preferably free) app to run on Android to run a scan to determine the signal strength of the internal WiFi around a school !!


I have tried many - but am looking for one that can link to google maps to automatically plot a plan with signal strength...
So all that I need to do is walk around with a tablet !!


A big ask - but is this available ?

    Thanks - I tried that one - and yes it works - but I am trying to save my legs and brain and trying to get a simple walk around the site with tablet, auto scanning !!

    I used WiFiFoFum on Pocket PC some years ago, I noticed they have a version for Android now but not sure what features have been added.
