Now that I have a mesh up, I thought it'd be fun to chart the antenna strength around my neighborhood.  Any good programs for this?  

My first thought was to get the signal strength to show up on my iPhone, start walking around taking screen shots, then manually transcribe the gps coords and signal strength into a spreadsheet.  But, iOS apparently looks down upon displaying this information, so that's not going to work.

I suppose there could be auto logging programs out there?

Well I'll answer my own post. I found NetSpot (www.netspotapp.com) for OS X. Looks pretty nice. You can place a map of your neighborhood on the background, then just walk around and click to register signal strength. It captures all the wifi signal, but you can filter out all but hsmm-mesh.
