Well, Plazes requires user behavior to begin with, and doesn't distinguish between multiple access points with the same SSID and same subnet. Plazes could say "NANOG in Dallas" but not which side of the hotel. My system comes more from the network administrator's point of view, talking to the APs directly instead of hearing from the clients, plus can provide a more detailed version of "where am I?". You're right that Plazes seems to be for people who want to brag about how much they roam around. I stopped using it when I found that the MacOS menubarlet crashes constantly when using tunnel interfaces. (Since fixed, I hear, but I don't think it's really my bag anyway.) Bill
