If there ever was a software that made you look like a treasure hunter (or a fool) then HeatMapper is it!
HeatMapper is a free Wi-Fi Mapping software, which allows you to find the best WiFi spots in a given area. What’s unique is how it maps them!
You are required to load an image of the area you’d like to map (eg. a floorplan of your 3 bedroom apartment) then left click the location you’re at on the floorplan image you loaded (on your portable) and slowly start walking around the wifi region. If you are on an airport this software could come in handy then as well.
HeatMapper will begin collecting signal data as you walk around! Its best that you left click your current location on the image frequently while walking around as this will help the software fine tune its findings. Once you’re done just right click and the data gets saved!
Parkr.info has to be one of the best utilities to use on a vacation ever seen! Ever tried searching for a park that you’ve always wanted to visit but never had the time to? Its not easy!
Parkr.info is a website dedicated to helping you find all the park locations, around the world!
It basically has a Googlemap that pinpoints parks in a selected region (show with a blue `KR’ logo). Clicking on a marker will give you the address of the park, as well a link to an info-page of the park. The info page primarily contains information about how other people have rated a park and allows them to their comments. If you’d like to leave a comment about your park experience then you’ll need to sign up but its free , so not much of a hassle there.

It can be quite tricky traversing a car dominated city by bicycle, particularly when you need to travel an unknown route to a new destination. But the chances are, someone has cycled that way before you. I have discovered a website that makes it easy to show you the best possible way to your destination.
For those of you who are into cycling and would like to discover new routes and places in United States, Europe and other countries need to check out Bikely. A free web-service that allows you to browse bicycle routes that are shared by other cyclists from around the world.
Bikely allows you to browse up to 100,000 bicycle routes. You can even add yours if it isn’t mentioned on the website yet. To narrow down your search you can also search for bike trails by country, by specific location and filter results by length of the route.
