Map Wardriving (and other!) Data with
MapServer Hack #92
Use shapelib and a little script to convert wardriving data to shapefiles, and
then map them!
I collect a lot of wardriving data from just about every commute, cruise, and
highway adventure I take. Naturally, I want to plot my findings and publish
them on the Web. MapServer provides a great way to do this, but the
wardriving data first needs to be converted to something that MapServer can
display. We can do this with a quick script.
