About WiFi Mapping

"Maybe if I put the router here, I will get a better connexion ? Or maybe there ?"

With this application, estimate the WiFi coverage in your house by scanning various locations. You will be able to get a global view of your (and others!) WiFi network in order to find the perfect spot for your router.

"I cannot sleep here, I will go in the other room, I'm sure it's because of all the radio waves in these places"

Although the radio waves effects on man have not yet been established, we can ask where we receive the least energy due to every kind of WiFi network in our house. This application allows you to estimate the power received (in Watt) in various location of your house. With this, no more excuses !


-------------------------------------------

How to use it :

Step 1 : Make a plan of your house / environment
- Draw yourself a plan using the pen tool. NB: Remember to save it to reuse it later!
Or
- Load an image from your device to use it as base. For example : take a picture of the plan of your house, then launch WiFi Map, select "Save / Load" in the first step and pick the picture.

Once your plan is okay, click on "Finish"

Step 2 : Scan your environment
During this step, you will have to put your device at various location and scan the WiFi networks.
1) Click on the plan you made and move to the corresponding location.
2) Click on "Scan".
NB : If you click on an already scanned point during 1 sec or more, the point will be rescanned.
NB2 : A simple click on a scanned point display the 5 first networks.
3) Perform steps 1 and 2 as much as you want. Increasing the number of scanned points increases the precision of the resulting maps !

Step 3 : Generate the maps
Once the scans are done, you can compute the maps by clicking on "Compute".
You will have the choice between "Network coverage" to estimate the coverage of a specific network or "Power on all networks (W)" to estimate de cumulative power (in Watts) in your house.

The generation of the maps can take one or two minuts depending on your device !

You will finally be able to save a screenshot of the map in the gallery.


Enjoy the app !

Didn't work on my Samsung Note 3. Would work up to the 'compute' stage when it would fall over no matter how many points I selected.

S70%
by S####:

It's designed for someone who actually knows how it works already. There's little to no direction and the direction given is unclear. From what I could gather, you have to load a picture for it to map onto. It won't do Anything until then.

The guy who made this probably doesnt under a thing about user experience. Its very user UNfriendly and no instructions. The ghy has perhaps made this for his own personal use. Useless to others. Donwloading this an utter time/data/effort wastage!!!

I could not LOAD a floorplan that I already have in JPG and other formats. All it would say is IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE. So drew my floorplan tediously, and I saved it. Then I ran the SCAN of various points in the building, and I ran "compute" to generate the heat map. It interpolated WAY more coverage in places I never even walked during my limited test. Why not just leave it blank instead of assuming strong coverage in areas not tested? So I cleared it all and tried to load my newly created map I drew. IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE. It did save as a JPG, but it wont' load. Ugh. How frustrating.
