Hey, I'm a newbie with couple of stupid questions.

I did a test scan today and captured few APs on my phone (using WiGLEWiFi), how do I pinpoint the actual location of the AP? Does additional scans add accuracy? Do I need to circle around the AP?

Otherwise I'm very impressed how well the app worked

I'm sincerely sorry if this was answered before (I'm guessing it must have been), but I couldn't find anything from the wiki nor from the forums search.

If anyone has a better explanation then correct me.

The more it is scanned the more the accuracy is increased. APs will go from red to green on the web map when enough data has been captured.
Some can be way off particularly ones with external antennas on roofs where the AP can be picked up further away.

I found a post by the site admin in another topic which explains how it works.
