Wi-Fi location accuracy
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 10:33 pm
All,
I am very keen to determine the location accuracy of wireless APs shown on Wigle.
I looked at the interactive map and found an AP with an address as the SSID, ( 52HolmeLacyRoad ) so sought to see how accurate the plotted location was.
I then put the BSSID ( 00:26:F2:bf:09:22 ) in the field
Query for location data of a single network, where a table was produced showing all the fixes for that BSSID.
My questions are as follows:
In the table that is displayed, in the field "accuracy" where is this value coming from? Is it a translation of the HDOP?, and if so, can anyone offer what the algorithm is?
Additionally, can anyone advise where the value in the field "weight" is obtained from?
Further more, can anyone offer any suggestions on how the location placed on the map is determined ?
Many thanks,
Comesunt
