[gps-talkusers] Wi Fi Finder

I'm wondering if any of the commercial databases list wifi as a category, so
we could search for that just like we can search for restaurants.  If I know
that I'll have a gap between appointments, before I leave home I check
http://www.wififreespot.com/ - where there's a link for each state, and the
places seem to be very up to date, although I call first before I go there.
But once you get to your state page, the hot spots are only listed by city.
So if there isn't a hot spot for the city I'm in, I have to figure out what
towns I'll be travelling through en route from Point A to Point B, and then
look for spots in those cities.  I don't need it often enough to want to pay
for an account that I could access from the Starbucks that seem to be on
every corner!

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to search the POI's where I am for wifi hot
spots, and then widen the search by a couple of miles if it doesn't see any
real close?
