Wireless utility software (like a radar)

[zoom_jones]

Caught a glimpse on a friends pc of some wireless software that displays all the wireless points in the area on a groovey radar style display. Anyone know what this is and where I can get a copy?

Comes on some toshiba laptops. Didn't look too closely but it might be Toshibas own (it does bluetooth too i think)

I'll try and get a look at one later

I think it's on the latest generic Intel driver.

Ooo found a piccy, looks something like this:


Must be similar things available out there, my friend did have toshiba laptop too.

Ah, I *think* that's Toshiba's "Config Free" utility.

The IVT BlueSolier BT discovery program looks very similar to that as well.

Surely they are devices, the circles map behind them is just a bitmap and not representative, surely?

Got it in one. It is on my Toshiba E800 PDA. Doesn't give you any directional info as the access points just rotate around the centre point. Got shut and used MS's own integrated WiFi utilities.

At a guess I'd say it's representative of signal quality (shorter distance to center = better quality) but I can't imagine it's directional!
