Windows Live WiFi Hotspot Locator

How I wish I had this tool last month as I was without power and telephone/DSL service at home and looking for a Internet hookup.

Sure, Starbucks and McDonalds have WiFi, but Starbucks wants $9.95 for 24 hours.  McDonalds will give you 2 hours for $2.95, which is not bad.

The Windows Live WiFi Hotspot Locator will accept location information and show you the hotspots within a selected radius.  You can easily print the list or map each location.  Very handy.

Chuck,

How does one submit other wifi locations to help grow the list?

The data is provided by JiWire and they have a form for adding sites:
