Can anyone direct me to some good info on finding wireless access points?

I don't mean simply being able to connect to them, but actually finding the
building and room that the signal is coming from.

How do you track down the physical location of the wireless access point
device that you can detect using netstumbler or other such software?

Thanks!

jim

To add to this:

Add one GPS compatible with Netstumbler and start "scanning."

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never seen any of those
shows - too busy working.
