Developer Information

libwlocate

The data of this database can be used out of own applications easily to provide WLAN-based location services. For integration into own software a shared library libwlocate is available for free that performs the full task:

accessing the local WLAN-hardware
checking for WLAN-networks that are available
accessing the database
returning the current geographic position or an error code in case localisation failed

So a software that uses this library just have to call one function of the shared library and gets back the current geographic position. Please check out the file README that comes with the sources, it contains detailled information about how this library can be used.

The sources of this library and all related test- and demo-applications are licensed under the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL). They are available at SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwlocate/ (GIT checkout, no package download at the moment). In case of questions or suggestions or when you have some patches or contributions please contact me via the SourceForge-project page using the related tracker/forum/contact form.

The libwlocate shared library is available for

Windows (requires Windows XP Service Pack 2 or newer) including a Visual C/C++ project file
Linux including standard Makefiles.
Android including Eclipse project data

The library can be used freely within own applications according to the terms of the GPL. Nevertheless it would be nice when you mention me and/or the OpenWLANMap within your credits ;-)
