WiGLE.net

I've just started to upload data from several of my war drives but, when I look at the data, I can not see any of the relevant data attached to netxml data. Why can't we see if it's WPA, WEP, etc? Or the basic encryption scheme? Can I do this with the API?

Thanks for uploading!

There are a lot of different ways to see the data through the site:

1.) on the general map: https://wigle.net/map
you can scroll around a big graphical world with all the data and do some filtering. The individual points here don't have a ton of detail, because this is literally all the data and it has to stay fast.

2.) via the basic and advanced search pages: https://wigle.net/mapsearch and https://wigle.net/search
these let you select individual points or classes of points found by you and others, have a lot more data.

3.) a detail query by unique address
click the "Network Detail" tab on the https://wigle.net/search (advanced search) page above, or click through from a network in the search results.

4.) on your uploads page there's a link for each transaction ID (column 1)
you can also download a KML representation of any individual upload for use in Google Earth and other visualization packages

5.) yes, the API is great for this!
check out https://api.wigle.net for details!

one of the things we're working on right now is rewriting our map generation system to add more of the search power to the visualization engine - but since drawing pictures may require us to manage a large quantity of data as quickly as possible, there are some challenges to overcome!

Thanks for your interest!
