I want to write an application that it can record the wifi hotspot's location we are accessing and display them in map. But the problem is - how do I get wifi hotspot's location?I think I can use the wifi signal to get the wifi hotspot's location, but it may not be very accuracy at first time. And if there is no other solution, I could record the location of GPS when access wifi hotspot at the first time.
The hotspots don't report their coordinates (my wifi box doesn't even know it's own geographical coordinates). Google captured hotspots during their streetview missions and used the results to triangulate the positions of wifi hotspots and other companies did the same to build up databases.
A very rough localization is possible via the IP address. This technically (and not always) only allows you to find the location of the ISP through which the internet is accessed, not the AP/hotspot itself (since a certain IP address pool is assigned to a given ISP). However, unless a VPN is used, that will usually at least tell you the country and often be even accurate to less than 50km (since ISPs are usually somewhat close to the internet access node). Many readily avaiable services are available for this, simply searching for something along the lines of "ip to location API free" should yield good results.
As you thought yourself, and as other answers already mentioned (in vague terms), there is however a better (or at least additional) option. You could just use the many devices out there to record the received WiFi signals and associate the strength of the signal with locations. With such a database, you could then in turn located devices, based on the received signals. Actually there are several such services, most prominently the one created by google and used (and fed with data by) pretty much any android phone out there. Fortunately, some of these are open and free to use (and contribute to), such as the one provided by mozilla, and another one.
If you have a lot of time (several hours to days) and a more-or-less accurate time, you can also use the light (from sun and moon) to get a location. Even with the simplest means you can get down to a few dozen kilometers.
DCCA has designated the location of 100 new Spectrum WiFi hotspots at public parks, civic and other community centers, and other public open areas and gathering places as part of its approval of the transfer of the Oceanic Time Warner Cable franchises in the State from Time Warner Cable to Charter Communications.
These designated locations offer 1 hour of free WiFi service per device per day. To locate these hotspots, scroll down for listings and maps by island or click on the link below to access an interactive version of the state map (locations are approximate):
To support families that do not have access to the internet at home, BCSS has installed four permanent WIFI hotspots that will be available in the parking lots at Apalachee High, Winder-Barrow High, Auburn Elementary, and Bear Creek Middle Schools.
In addition, 16 mobile hotspots have been installed on buses and will be parked throughout the county so students can access WIFI. Buses will be parked at these locations on school days from 7:00am until 5:00pm. The interactive map below shows the locations for each of our WIFI hotspot buses. Green icons indicate a school location and blue icons indicate a bus location. (Yellow are locations no longer available.) You can also access the map by clicking here. Locations and exact addresses are listed at the bottom of this page.
To connect to bus WIFI, select the available wireless network starting with SchoolBusWiFixxxx, where the xxxx is a 4 digit number, (not related to the school bus number). Look for the sign on the bus to get the password to login or ask the bus driver for assistance.
In partnership with the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System and Urban Collaborative Project, the City of San Diego's SD Access 4 All program is now offering public Wi-Fi at select bus stops in the San Diego Promise Zone. Please see the following list for the stops offering this service. These bus stops are also featured in the interactive map below.
The City of San Diego is taking action to close the digital divide that leaves tens of thousands of San Diegans without internet access. Through the SD Access 4 All program, the City is now offering open public Wi-Fi at over 300 public locations.
The SD Access 4 All program provides open public Wi-Fi through unsecured networks, which can be connected to without a security feature, such as a password or login. Always use caution when utilizing public Wi-Fi on unsecured networks to protect your personal information. A good rule to follow is to only access information that you would feel comfortable having someone else look at over your shoulder (reading the news, doing homework, looking up the weather forecast, etc.).
Helpful tip: If you are creating a password, the longer it is the better. Use special characters, capital letters and numbers in random ways. One suggestion is to use four random, unusual words that make no sense together.
The Digital Navigator Program offers free, one-on-one assistance to help San Diegans obtain low-cost computers, sign up for affordable internet service, improve their computer skills or get basic tech support. Call
1-800-350-6945 to get help by phone or schedule an in-person appointment.

The City is giving away its end-of-life computers so they can be refurbished and offered to individuals who do not currently have a computer. Through a partnership with San Diego Futures Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in City Heights, the City has donated over 2,200 computers to help bridge the digital divide so far and plans to provide about 800 more each year.
As part of this partnership, the Futures Foundation provides training to help recipients of the computers get off to a quick start and provide them with the resources to find affordable internet services.
The County and Goochland County Public Schools have developed external and select internal hotspot locations at county facilities and community locations county-wide to provide citizens with enhanced opportunities to access broadband internet. This is a short-term strategy to provide access and fill a need while the county implements longer-term strategies.
Local businesses, non-profits, and community facilities are encouraged to serve as community hotspot locations. Interested in being added to the list of publicly accessible area Wi-Fi Hotspots please contact Paul Drumwright at
(804) 556-5833 or
