About WiFi Map Explorer
This app is a toolbox of network tools for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Mac with Apple M1 chip or later. Its main original feature is drawing a 2D heat map of the user's wireless network coverage, using a set of measurements and an interpolation algorithm (variation of the Shepard's method to compute an Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation) used in professional Geographic Information Systems. It can take throughput measurements with only one mobile device, but it also is able to get more accurate local measurements if you run the app on two devices connected to the same wireless network. To compute and draw the interpolated map on the fly during measurements, the algorithm implemented is multi-threaded. A secondary feature is that measurements are displayed on a very smooth rolling chart. A full Press Kit is available on the web site.
