WebMaps filter improvement

[cougar]

Hi,

Sometimes I'd like to see networks discovered and posteb by other peaople than me. Currently it is possible only to see all networks or networks discovered by me. Would be vwey nice to see everything except my submits. Then I'll see are here more wardrivers than me or not

Also if would be nice if the submitter login name is shown

I was just going to post the same recommendation. Good thing I searched first

It would be a cool feature, and maybe have the username on the stats page be a link to a zoomed out map of all ap's discovered by that user. Obviously this is more of a bragging feature so I'm sure it's not top priority but it would be a nice. What's another line on your SQL query and another parsing function on your stats going to hurt ? Keep up the great work!

The problem with having a map of all networks found by a user is that it is disclosing who found what, and currently you can only check whether you found it or not when you're logged in.

Hehe, ya'll didn't see in another forum (http://www.wigle.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=450) where I wrote:

Here's a weird feature request.... webmap server has this really neat function to display all APs first discovered by the logged-in user. Is it possible to get an option to display all EXCEPT those discovered by the logged-in user?

back on February 8th.

Sure, I would love to be able to filter OUT all APs that I discovered, but showing what user found what APs could be used for more nefarious reasons. While I perform electronic intelligence gathering benignly and don't tresspass upon the networks I find, I have no doubt that there are several people in the world who would automatically assume that we stumblers have criminal intent. Thus, the possibilities of a shyster (read:legal professional) making use of the information with regard to placing liability upon any malefactors or accomplices thereto could become very high. I really don't think that any of us who report their findings here on WiGLE have any desire to become unwitting defendants in a court case because of the accusation "well, he/she found and reported the access point that this other person used to gain access to this network and (etc.)."

Just my $0.02 worth.

Good point, and once again the idiots of the world ruin it for the rest of us.
