See my other post about Network Stumbler (www.stumbler.net)....(c;

It works in the Bahamas.


The link doesn't work, but I am aware of stumbler. What use would a cruising
sailor put stumbler to?

I pull into a harbour in the Bahamas, drop the anchor. Once settled, I turn
on my laptop or pda and look for networks (the wifi card's software allows
this). If there happness to be a hotspot, fine. But if not, what do I do??
Pull up anchor and motor around until I find one - maybe in another harbour
20 miles way?

I guess I just don't see how this would be of practical use to someone who
is actually out there sailing.
