I haven't messed with this yet, to me it seems like it could theoretically map all device locations, triangulating positions? Has that been addressed?

That's known as Transmitter Hunting (aka Fox Hunting).

It's a fundamental flaw of most wireless communication. Are you referring to something more specific?

  • I think that is more of a directional antenna approach? I’m more talking about triangulation, we used to be able to do it with cell towers and if you had 3 or more in range we could get pretty accurate location (now that seems to be locked down).
