19 days to Skyhook
Looks like I complained a little too soon, Skyhook actually added my AP to their database and it now shows up on Maps. Seems like 19 days is the magic number.
Skyhook Shows No Love
On the 12th of April I’d posted on how to submit your AP to Skyhook Wireless (the folks behind the iPod touch/iPhone’s ability to plot your location based off available APs). Well, 18 days later and still no sign of being added to their database.
I feel so cheated… Okay, not really.
Improve Google Maps on the iPod touch/iPhone

This mostly applies to the iPod touch seeing as the iPhone also has cell towers to rely on, but apparently Skyhook has setup a page for users to submit their access points. No word on how quickly they’re added to the database, or if they even actually make it in, but it at least makes me feel like I’m contributing.
You will need the MAC address for your router in order to complete the submission.
I live in the middle of no where, which currently yields “Your location could not be determined” on both my iPhone and iPod touch, so I’ll let you know if Skyhook ever adds my AP to their database.
