The app is called WiFi Map, and is essentially a standalone version of something that Foursquare has been providing for a while. The fame check-in app regularly includes details of Wi-Fi routers and passwords for the convenience of subsequent visitors, but WiFi Map is a much more robust, specific experience if you’re just looking to open up your laptop and get a little work done.
Wi-Fi hotspots are not only great for notebooks and other devices that rely on them for connectivity, but also ideal for saving on smartphone / tablet data usage, which is often capped by carriers. WiFi Maps contains an assortment of pin-pointed hotspots – there are no fewer than two million at this moment in time – and because users can submit credentials all the time, the list is growing rapidly.

Created for both Android and iOS users, it’s free to download and try out, although at base level, will only let you see hotspots within 1.2 miles of your current location or where you happen to search. The full version, which can be upgraded in-app, loosens this restriction, and critically, lets you save maps for offline viewing – ideal if you’re running low on data and preparing a contingency plan.
Anyway, if you’re always on the move and spend an unholy amount of time looking for Wi-Fi, give WiFi Map a try, and as ever, do leave your thoughts below.
