WiFiFoFum - The best WiFi scanner for Windows Mobile

Tue, 9 Jun 2009 19:53:38 +1000

First things first, I've got to agree that WiFiFoFum is the best from my experience with WiFi scanning apps for Windows Mobile. I tried MiniStumbler but it wouldn't recognise the WiFi in the Windows smart phone (Palm Treo Pro) i've been been given to test. WiFiFoFum saves in all the formats I want, Google Earth (KLM), text, Wi-scan, Tom Tom POI, MemoryMap & Netstumbler (ns1) formats, which means I can fit it in with the information I've collected very easily. Not to mention it can use the GPS built into the phone which is a big plus for me, no need to carry a notebook with GPS dongle.

You can grab a copy of WiFiFoFum from the Aspecto Software website.

As always you should actively virus scan these files if you don't trust them. If you have any issues please post them in the comments.
