Provide a compass/direction indicator to the strongest cell signal #155

Other apps similar to the stumbler have gained some popularity/use by providing users with an indication of which direction they should move in order to get a better signal. It would provide a little bit more incentive to download and use the stumbler.

If implemented, would such a thing be accepted into the stumbler? Or is that outside of the scope?

A compass is an interesting idea. A variation on the compass might be an indicator directing users to visit places that have weak signals and need more measurements. :)

would be even nicer to have a map where mozstumbler marks the estimated spots of wifi aps including an estimated wifi range (based on differences in signal strengths and gps positions)
