WiGLE.net

Howdy.

I've tried to upload a log with the following format:

# $Creator: WiFiFoFum Version 0.4.0
# $Format: wi-scan
# Latitude Longitude ( SSID ) Type ( BSSID ) Time (GMT) [ SNR Sig Noise ]
# $DateGMT: 04/07/24
(... Lots of A.P. Data ...)

WiGLE parser gets correct no. of lines in file, but states only 1 Network in file.

Have I done something wrong here?

Cheers,

Malcom is still working on the wi-scan format logs for WiFiFoFum. If you are running 0.3.3, the wi-scan output has to be massaged to get it into Wigle. As saved, the logs are badly broken.

Here's an example of what a WFFF file looks like after being modified into an acceptable format:

# $Creator: WiFiFoFum Version 0.4.0
# $Format: wi-scan summary with extensions
# $DateGMT: 2004-11-18
# Latitude Longitude ( SSID ) Type ( BSSID ) Time (GMT) [ SNR Sig Noise ]
N 44.9738817 W 92.95423 ( 11nnet ) BBS ( 00:06:25:7E:8C:89 ) 07:21:54 (GMT) [ 0 -73 0 ]
N 44.9655783 W 92.9541817 ( linksys ) BBS ( 00:06:25:C6:82:08 ) 07:20:30 (GMT) [ 0 -85 0 ]

Specific changes:
- $Format indicates wi-scan with extensions
- $DateGMT is a proper GMT date
- Lat/Long are converted to proper format values

I put together a spreadsheet that makes the conversion easier, but it's still extra steps. Hopefully Malcom will get this all straightened out in WFFF 0.4, which he's hinted is coming soon.

That explains it, having to use WiFiFoFum since MiniStumbler doesn't want to recognize my Belkin GPS.

How are you doing the Lat and Lon conversion?

Excel formulas do the conversions in blood-simple fashion

Latitude, raw input is in cell I7:
=IF(I7>0,"N "&ABS(ROUND(I7,7)),"S "&ABS(ROUND(I7,7)))

Longitude, raw input is in cell J7:
=IF(J7>0,"E "&ABS(ROUND(J7,7)),"W "&ABS(ROUND(J7,7)))

This seems to be enough to make WiGLE.net happy. I have to use the header "# $Format: wi-scan summary with extensions" so the coordinates are interpreted correctly.
