how to warXing the right way

i decided to write a small howto on how to warXing (wardrive/warwalk) the right way to get the best maps possible.

  • always have an eye on the gps fix! gps data without a 3d fix is next to useless!
  • do not walk/drive to fast! remember channel hopping!
    • e.g. b/g == 12 channels ; channelvelocity == 2 -> it would take about 6 seconds to hop threw all channels. to get reasonable results you should hop each channel at least three times per position -> 18 seconds.
  • walk/drive the right way

the best gps data could be collected by warXing like this:

as you can see, you should walk/drive at least two times around each building/block.

why? you can't remember your math class? ;)
