  Description     : Estimate location based on WLAN, Bluetooth, or GSM

 Place Lab is software providing low-cost, easy-to-use device
positioning for location-enhanced computing applications. Place Lab
tries to provide positioning which works worldwide, both indoors and out
(unlike GPS which only works well outside). Place Lab clients can
determine their location privately without constant interaction with a
central service (unlike badge tracking or mobile phone location services
where the service owns your location information).

 The Place Lab approach is to allow devices like notebooks, PDAs and
cell phones to locate themselves by listening for radio beacons such as
802.11 access points, GSM cell phone towers, and fixed Bluetooth devices
that already exist in large numbers around us in the environment. These
beacons all have unique or semi-unique IDs, for example, a MAC address.
Clients compute their own location by hearing one or more IDs, looking
up the associated beacons’ positions in a locally cached map, and
estimating their own position referenced to the beacons’ positions.

 Note that Place Lab will work best if you have (or create) an account
on wigle.net to access WLAN beacon databases.
