• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Any other maps for free Wi-fi?

Thanks to Bob Prentice for the map of trucks with free Wi-fi in Texas!

I wonder if similar maps exist for other states. That would sure come in handy, particularly--for me--in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. I just don't have the cash to sign up for a two-year contract with one of the wireless providers, particularly when I won't have a practical use for it much of the time. Seems like most hot-spots today require a subscription or else are locked.
 
You can make maps of advertised-free wifi hotspots, and I think some members have done this in the past. By "advertised free", I'm referring to those places like Microtels, Super 8s, Paneras, and Schlotzskys, not 'unsanctioned' open wifi nets. Aaron Kennedy had such a list for a while, but I'm not sure of its current status. I wish I'd remember some of these places, particularly those out in the middle of nowhere (random restaurants, etc).
