Hello,
I've been searching here and there, without any satisfactory results so I thought of asking here too.
What I am looking for is a way to map all the free access points in my town (restaurants, libraries, petrol stations, etc) and share them to the world (over Google Maps or something). I've found a few services, but their maps seem to be rather empty around Romania.
So, if you can recommend me a good wifi access points sharing service, feel free to name it here.
PS: If it has an Android application it would be even better.
Edit: Could a moderator could change the thread's title to "Searching for a wireless mapping tool", please? Thanks!
You looking for something like this?:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hogdex.WifiMapMakerFree
Something like that. But this app doesn't seem to work inside although I know for sure that I have a few hotspots in the building. And I cannot find any sharing option.
Anything else?

I've been looking into Directory Assistance applications for WM, the only thing I've seen out there is Handmark Express for a monthly fee.... I can always use the internet to search but its a pain in the butt... Has anyone here designed a GUI that would use predefined fields to pull information off the internet like www.superpages.com or www.switchboard.com anything. I thought this would be a huge program request from people, but havent seen it anywhere. Anyone seen or developed anything like this.
Thanks,
Shane

Yeah I've used that a lot before, but I'm talking about a piece of software that searches the internet from the phone to lookup addresses, and numbers. Not just a 411 directory assistance service, there used to be an old 411 prog out there, no Handmark has Express for like $7/month.... I'm looking for something like that, but not monthly.
Second result doing a google search.
Give it a try and see how it works.
*edit* As an added bonus, I found something that i just tried out and it works quite nicely. See attached.
This http://www.telepages.net/ is exactly what you're looking for. Can't wait for it to be released. From the maker of DA for PalmOS.

Hey there, I was using OsmAnd for a cupple of weeks, but I have a great problem with it.. I love the feature, that it's totally offline and provides a huge database of Addresses and Pons, but I live in Europe and we use a bit different address format :
Street, House number, City, State
and OsmAnd uses internally the Format
housenumber, street, City, State
So I got the Problem of incompatibilities of all my stored addresses, but also for those provided by Google search.
Now there are true the Web several tips how to fix it, mainly to use the Contactplugin. I downloaded it several times from different addresses but the result was the same : force closing apk... Sometimes OsmAnd or mostly the plugin itself.
I would be glad if someone could help me out because it makes me really ****ed up, I would like to use it instead of maps, so I would be able to delete maps, but if I want to do so, I would like to have mostly the same features, and the details on the map are not the problem.
Thank you for your idea how to fix this issue
Hi there,
You could try asking here, [APP] [Free] OsmAnd (online/offline GPS navigation), though the thread is pretty old and small.
You could also try asking for help in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Thank you and thread closed!
Hello everyone,
I started delivering food and phone navigation is my main item to find the place. I have tried google maps, waze, maps.me and copilot(paid version) and all of them disappointed me.. It's hard to explain what kind of places they don't locate at all, it would be easier to show but long story short iPhone stock Maps app find every single location and leads you to the door compared to android ones because they bring you to the street and say "you have arrived" or "your destination is on the right" when you need house #24 and you end up at #65.
What navigation would you suggest using or trying out to find these locations or I should just mark the location on my google maps when I find the place so next time it would be easier to find it.
I hope any of this makes sense, I tried everything and this forum is my last hope.. I have 20 minutes to deliver food and I spend 15 minutes looking for a place and then having to call the customer so he could guide me to his house..
P.S. if you need any information about what specific locations i'm looking for let me know, I didn't write here so post wouldn't be too long.
Hi
Regarding best navigation android application or other kind of android application everything it`s subjective and you won`t find on xda a proper discussion about it , you better search on Google and also , the developer`s website would provide more information as he is developing it.
The accuracy of location details may vary do to maps updates and application`s built in engine so try and find the one it suits you , good luck !
Looking to pay for a successful method in regard to bypassing this:
I need you to develop some software for me. I would like this software to be developed for PC. I live in Dallas, TX, USA and want to play DFS ie. draftkings/FanDuel but TX is one of the few or so unavailabe states. I have used VPN's but sites will not allow me to play because I need my location enabled . The plugin we're looking to get over is called Geo Comply, it's mega advanced, does more than 350 checks on you every 20 minutes, eats stuff like VPN/RDPs for breakfast and a few experienced developers I've contacted failed already. They have a lot of information on their site about the methods they use and after reading it, you might get a bit discouraged as experienced as you might be. I want a software or a solution that can bypass all their checks and for me to stay undetected while being out of state. I need to appear to be located within New Jersey. I wanna work with serious and experienced developers only, as I said this is far from an easy task that many so-called old IT dogs failed and gave up on. Your effort will be rewarded and I might have future jobs for you too if you can somehow manage a solution for my problem. Looking forward to working with you.

Hello and good day, @MRC_MR . Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, prior to your next posting, if you are posting a Question Thread, please post it in the Q&A forum. If it is a question within a device forum, using the prefix "Question" is comparable if the option is available.
I've moved your thread to General Q&A.
Thanks for your cooperation!

If you are using an Android device, Google's Find My Device (although I'm pretty sure finding it on https://www.google.com/android/find doesn't require having the app) and I know friends that have Lookout that offer the same functions...
misunderstood the question -- I thought in the context of if it is lost...
Google Maps; You can either share your literal GPS location (latitude & longitude) or share location using a link for a limited or unlimited amount of time....It's what I do/use when needed....
I've heard of Life360 which is very family oriented, but everyone has to be using the app for it to work I imagine....

huh? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you asking "And, for example, how are you supposed to do it in [theory] if you were in a forest?"
I've never used Life360, so I can't say, but in Google Maps, you hold any non-street/road location (has to not be a street or road; learned this stupid caveat the hard way that confused me for like 20 minutes figuring out), and either click "share" button or go into the details (raise frame on the bottom), and your GPS location in latitude & longitude will show up in one of the entry details -- even "in the forest" or for any location (I imagine)...
That's how I imagine I would go about it in that circumstance....
