    Very nice picture indeed!

    Which software did you use to generate this heat map ?

    Very pretty — but very strange. What’s the horizontal border 3/5 of the way down under which there is very little wi-fi? Are there any explanations for that?

      not sure, it seems as if this has something to do with apple’s database …

      It’s obviously the lasting results of the Berlin Wall! Or perhaps a further, WiFi-blocking wall has been built without anyone noticing?

      That’s the Berlin Wall ;)

      Intresting recursive problem ;-)

      There are other areas where the data looks clipped, like at the middle right part or the lower part of the lighed area at the top.

    Just a wild speculation: Berlin Wall?

    Looks like the data comes in cells or is broken up into grids…

    Habe gerade diese Projekt gefunden. Wäre etwas für eine Zusammenarbeit.

    Translation by Google: “I just found this project. Would be something to work with.”

    Great work! I was hoping somebody would take the initiative to do this.

    I’ve made a Mac script to tag Places in iPhoto and Aperture using the data. Check it out on my website:

    And if you link to me, I’ll link to you :)
