I've been playing around a bit with Airmagnet's Surveyor product while preparing for a wireless LAN workshop that I'm instructing this week for one of my clients. With Surveyor, you can import an image file of the area that you want to survey. When walking around the facility, you click your position on the map. This stores signal and noise data for each point. After collecting enough samples, Surveyor estimates the coverage area over the entire facility. This seems to work well for creating RF coverage maps. Just be sure to record plenty of locations where coverage may not be good due to obstacles getting in the way.
