Anyone used Loki

[NoMoMoney]

I work in the field of navigation and found this company's product (free) interesting. Name is Loki basically says you can find your position (in a city they have mapped) using wifi hotspots that you can see. Pretty interesting but I was wondering if anyone has tried it out and what your experiance is with it. I might try it out this weekend if I get a chance.

It's actually a toolbar for your browser.

Haven't tried it, wish it were open source, it's not very useful as a browser plug-in...

The concept looks interesting, but it would be better if it was desktop, not browser, based.

Interesting concept, don't see it working too well.

My thoughts exactly, can't be that good. But then again, people said that about GPS at first too (waaaaay back). Definatly an interesting concept that is meant to supplement something like GPS in urban canyons. I really am interested in how well it works though.

No one has tried this here? Maybe those who have aren't on the east coast.... anyone?!
