I would love to have an application for my n900 that helps me to locate an access point, for the situations where I can get a very low strength signal on an open access point somewhere and want to move closer to it.
I have a memory of small devices that did this specifically, but I can't find any via google that actually give a direction as opposed to just strength, so maybe I am misremembering.
What I have in mind is a simple gui that allows you to scan for networks, pick a network and then there is a big arrow on the screen that points in the direction you should walk to get better signal strength. This might initially be random and have you walking in an increasing spiral until the software can get an idea of which direction gives better strength.
I am a coder (although haven't done more than a couple of scripts for the n900), but I have zero time at the moment to get this up and running. I do, however, feel it would be useful for many people, so I decided to put the idea out there
Cheers,
Ben
