Skyhook makes finding yourself even easier

Those of you looking for more accurate positioning from your iPhone’s Wi-Fi location functions will be happy to know that the process just got even easier. When we first explained how to add your access point to Skyhook Wireless’s database, it required you to assemble a bunch of information and email it off to the company.

I wonder if perhaps they got a little tired of fielding all those emails, because they’ve streamlined the ordeal by putting up a web page where you can enter the details. Just pop in your address and it’ll give you the Latitude and Longitude with the built-in Google Maps interface. Add your access point’s MAC address and your email, and you’re good to go.

Sure, it’s not GPS, but it’s the next best thing. And think of all the time it saves you.
