Default Wi FI hotspot

In case anybodies interested, this sounds like a pretty good little set-up for occasional internet hook-ups.

Thanks for sharing John. It sounds interesting have you tried it? I wonder how good of a connection it truly offers?

Google Earth used to have a 'layer' to show free WI-Fi connections but were forced to remove it in I believe 2006. My wife has a grandfathered unlimited data Verizon plan, we run an app to turn it into a mobile hot-spot. Works for us.
