Maps Not Updating

Talk about whatever

Over the past several days I have uploaded nearly 3000 new WiFi connections. They all show in the personal stats as fully processed but not plotting on the map. I know it takes some time but it has been days and still no map update. Not that it matters but I am using the Android Wigle app.

This has happened to me too. Just recently. I have not seen updates from any of my recent runs, even though the upload stats show new WiFi.
The two most recent examples show in the log as follows:
20160113-00358 Completed Successfully 100% 13 2016-01-13 16:15:16 WigleWifi_20160114081502.csv 525,626 3,806 508 518 1,801 1,805 3,698
20160113-00023 Completed Successfully 100% 5 2016-01-13 01:46:24 WigleWifi_20160113174618.csv 67,068 510 153 153 292 294 467

I'm using ColorFly G808 3G, with Android 4.2.2. I think my Wigle ap is up to date, but I can't find the version number to report that.

Cheers, Mark.

Spot checking finds the networks mapped. I've replied to your email with further details.
-bobzilla - WiGLE.net just a little bit

Thanks Bobzilla.
I can see the points you identified from my logs as being on the map.
I'll go through the traces for the areas I mapped to see if I can find segments that didn't get mapped, if any. My problem is that whole streets that I know I trawled on those runs show no hits, only points I have discovered on previous runs, at some of the intersections. But I'll send my update direct to you and then post an update when the problem's closed.
Cheers, Mark.

this is a "me too" addition - signed up today, captured over a thousand APs, and nothing on the maps...

the "uploads" interface shows them all processed, and a few hundred new ones.

Hi TheoJones

BobZilla looked at my uploads and found that valid data points had created map points, but there were several invalid data points in my data as well.

Open one of the .CSV files that you thought should have created more map points - using MS-Excel is handy for this. Then look for the following in the data:
1. Firstseen dates that are invalid (e.g. display as 01/01/1970)
2. CurrentLatitude values that are out of range, e.g. > 90 degrees North or -90 South.
3. CurrentLongitude values that are out of range.
Wigle discards bad data points.

I had several entries with problem 1 and 2 and I put it down to bad data fed to my app from the GPS, perhaps because it had not synced or had dropped out of sync.

A suggestion to the team: it might be nice if the processing program highlighted uploaded files with a flag indicating that there was at least 1 erroneous data point, or even better, a column showing how many rows were rejected due to bad data.

Cheers, Mark.
