## Installation

```

npm install geocode-wifi

```

## Usage

This module needs network access in order to communicate with Google so

it can triangulate the provided access points.

```js

var geocodeWifi = require('geocode-wifi')

var towers = [

  { mac: '0e:1d:41:0c:22:d4', ssid: 'NodeConf', signal: -72 },

  { mac: '01:1c:ef:0c:21:2a', ssid: 'NSA Lobby', signal: -2 },

  { mac: 'e0:53:41:92:00:bb', ssid: 'Microsoft Taco', signal: -89 }

]

geocodeWifi(towers, function (err, location) {

  if (err) throw err

  console.log(location) // => { lat: 38.0690894, lng: -122.8069356, accuracy: 42 }

})

```

Geocode-wifi have special support for the

[node-wifiscanner](https://github.com/mauricesvay/node-wifiscanner)

module. This means you can parse the output of node-wifiscanner directly

into geocode-wifi:

```js

var geocodeWifi = require('geocode-wifi')

var wifiScanner = require('node-wifiscanner')

wifiScanner.scan(function (err, towers) {

  if (err) throw err

  geocodeWifi(towers, function (err, location) {

    if (err) throw err

    console.log(location) // => { lat: 38.0690894, lng: -122.8069356, accuracy: 42 }

  })

})

```
