PSA: do not test WiFI access points at a LAN party. Turns out that after 5000 people see your brand new BSSID as being in Spain, it's kinda hard to convince Google that it's in Japan now. Wi-Fi only location at my apartment now sends you all the way to Barakaldo.

You can sell it to Pokémon Go players now, if the LAN party was on a Gym or poke stop hotspot

Chaos events always use the same access points, which leads to the effect that you can find out where they were last used by using Google Maps on your phone

Open AP on a high-speed train in Italy. Most fun I've had in ages. You power up the AP now and you could be anywhere on the line :)
