Users can also search for a specific location, and get a a map view or list of institutions close to the location searched for, either by postal/zip code, town, or any other method supported by the maps API.

Despite letting the app log multiple eduroam locations they fail to show on the map even months later. But if they fix that it'll be a very useful app in the future. Samsung Galaxy S2.

Only the official AP layer works. Tag submission fails with saying that I am not connected to eduroam... Would be a a truly great app if it worked as described.

It works okay, locating the nearest eduroam hot spot from the official list. None of the user added overlays work which is a bit of a shame as that would add a lot more detail.
