Anyone else using their Touch as a WiFi finder? Since the upgrade I am impressed with the range that I can find other WiFi signals as I drive around town.

I don't go around looking, but it is very scary to see how many unsecured wireless networks are in my neighborhood.
 
I love hopping on peoples networks :D Walking my dog up and down my neighborhood I can pick up hundreds of unsecured networks.
 
Wouldn't it be great if the Touch could give of direction as to where the WiFi signal is coming from. I have this one signal that seems to span for several blocks in my area. It sure seems way to far for normal household WiFi, so I would love to pin point its location.
