Oops, forgot to login.
I work in Newcastle, the one in the UK, and I've spotted warchalking in a few places, and since I don't use wi-fi on my Z, I 'borrowed' a laptop off a friend and found a nice 'free' internet connection.
People really should secure their networks.

Brisbane City Council have a few open hotspots around as well. Queen Street Mall for one but only port 80 last time I checked.

You might find some at www.wigle.net. They claim to cover the world although I have only looked at Texas.]

Unfortunately www.wigle.net only contains GPS maps for the US.

I quote:

Addresses are for the U.S. only (2002 Census data)


So much for "Worldwide database and mapping"

But thanks for your input all the same jerbell.
