we're getting that functionality ready to go - since bluetooth devices are very mobile, we're working on some new functionality to help you understand position more reliably!

SP2005 - sorry, the button isn't there yet; I'm proposing implementing it that way!

BBC notes that you can find hot tubs with security issues on WiGLE:

Note, as much as this looks like us, no members of the WiGLE team posed for this picture.

An interesting project operationalizing some research from a little while back:

Interesting question! There are a lot of possible explanations: 1. If you've logged mobile WiFi access points, things you've observed may have been more commonly seen elsewhere. If you pick an individual point, you can look it up in the detail search to get a coverage polygon. 2. If an access point ...

Thanks for your support! Show your friend the maps!

a lot of us are in the same boat with two phones, even on android now, because of the scanning changes on Android Pie.

we should add it as a configurable option - there's plenty of spare space on that screen on most modern devices; we've been a little cautious about adding controls just because it can get crowded on small devices. I'll note that you can also use the notification controls to initiate uploads as well,...

sorry to hear that, and thanks for your interest and the report. I've seen some weird GPS behavior in recent android releases (Oreo and Pie, specifically) that line up with this. A couple of checks to get to the bottom of this: 1. bring up the "dashboard" tab - what value is next to the "Loc:" label...

that sounds like a great feature idea!

I don't have a device myself, but the use case makes a lot of sense.
You can open an issue on github (or submit a PR!) against the WiGLE WiFi Wardriving project to get it faster, but we've added it to our feature log!

those have unique LTE identifiers - the MCC/MNC values (the first six digits) differ, even though the subsequent elements match. https://api.wigle.net/api/v2/cell/mccMnc?mcc=234&mnc=15 and https://api.wigle.net/api/v2/cell/mccMnc?mcc=234&mnc=10 are the corresponding API urls (you can hit those with ...

yeah - that's the issue. let them know what we think of this limitation! we figure most WiGLE users are pretty sophisticated, and we're *very* up-front about what we're doing. I'm guessing Google angry about the surreptitious collection (and the related battery drain) some apps employ to monetize th...

haven't researched it extensively because we don't want to ask our users to risk security problems in exchange for network detection - but by all means, let's study and collect options!

Is it running Android Pie?

Google has kneecapped WiFi scanning in Pie and has indicated they're going to eliminate it entirely, see this issue and star to tell them it's a problem.

ah, they've moved the preference: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-disable-persistent-notifications-in-android-oreo/ shows how to get to system notifications on Oreo. The notification in question is labeled "Network Available" on mine. I'm not sure whether the issue persists in modern pho...
