An update to the previous article on Free WiFi Internet Access points is a new site called hotspotr, a beta site utilizing Google Maps. Hotspotr has a few really nice features to it making it very user friendly.

  • Easily see on a map where the location is
  • Get directions in a flash
  • Anyone can add a WiFi hot spot
  • Rate the wireless availability
  • Rate the ability to use it for work or socializing
  • Rate the quality of food or beverages available at the location (a nice touch)
  • The availability of outlets (an often overlooked but very needed feature)

I’ve added a few local spots in my area; I think the only thing that could be really helpful would be the ability to download them to my iPod or similar device. Because they are still in beta, it is not as complete as other sites, but it is most defiantly worth checking out.
