The gnuplot examples in the paper has worked well for me (pg. 20
graphs) with kismet. To extend it, overlay a floor plan or google
map and use a touch screen to take measurements. W/o a point-of-
reference, then you'll have to map out X,Y coordinates on your own
while taking readings, which kind of sucks [1]. I guess could you do
rough mapping w/ a touch screen if you walked a shape (e.g.
equilateral triangle) and did rough estimates on the distances (e.g.
1 meter).

This Hilti tool rocks for taking good range measurements. That, plus
graph paper is all ya need (but it's cumbersome).
