Nej du ska inte behva ansluta till ntverken s lnge macadresserna syns, dremot mste du ju ha en ppen anslutning fr att kunna skicka info om macadresserna och sedan f positionen tillbaka frn skyhookwireless server.
Det tnkte jag ocks men lste sedan detta p FAQen:
"Are you 'stealing' an access point signal to use it for determining location?
No. Every access point generates a publicly available signal that can be 'heard' by any Wi-Fi enabled device within range. Skyhook has only aggregated this signal data and paired it with other information so that it can be used as a reference point infrastructure for the purposes of determining the location of a mobile device.
A rough analogy would be a location-determination system that uses porch lights as reference points. With a reference data base about which lights were on or off and the strength and pattern of the light each lamp cast, a photosensitive device could arguably use the unique patterns it 'sees' at a specific time and place, compare it with the previously collected data about these porch lights and determine its location."
Det du pstr skulle innebra att de "stal" lite av AP-kapaciteten vilket detta dementerar. Jag kan inte frst hur den skickar ivg en frfrgan om nuvarande position eller vgbeskrivningar om den inte anvnder ngonting att skicka det med
