There are all sorts of these things out there on the market - I saw an ad for the Hawking HWL1 802.11b/g WiFi Locator... and it looked interesting (directional)... I've seen mixed reviews, but some might find it good/useful. I know, I know.... "why buy a wifi locator when you could pull out a laptop/pda".... part of it is probably because you DON'T want to drag out a laptop, part of it is looking for a device that will give just a quick scan of what networks are available and what kind of encryption if any.
