I had a magnetic mount antenna on my car and a marine GPS that I used with Netstumbler sometime around 2001. I used an Orinoco PC Card adapter, too. I remember the external antenna connection was very fiddly and fragile. I would run the rig anytime I had a long trip to take. It was fun to see the relatively huge number of networks around bigger cities, as compared to the sparseness of rural Ohio where I lived.
I still remember a few of the more amusing network names when I drive past their locations. I can't ever drive on I-75 south of Bowling Green, OH without thinking of "Chickenfeet".
