Project URL: http://www.flashnavigator.net/wigle/
This tutorial describes in detail the process of creating a Web GIS application. For this project we used a NAVTEQ map of Chicago as a base map and WiGLE data for GIS analysis.
Concentration of wireless networks in Chicago
WiGLE is an acronym for “Wireless Geographic Logging Engine”. This interesting project has the purpose of cataloging wireless networks across the world. Location of wireless network is calculated by triangulation using GPS traces that are submitted by users. The interesting feature of their service is the ability to query the database and get detailed data about wireless networks. We used this service to get the data for the purpose of this project.
