[TriLUG] Wifi gui radar?

I'm not talking about "WiFi Radar"[1] which does not have a radar screen.

There's an app from IBM called ThinkVantage Access Connections [2]
that shows a nice GUI with a radar-like screen which shows the radial
distance to various access points.  There is a linux version of this
software [3] but I'm wondering if there exists something in OSS space
that does the same thing.

We have repeaters in the building and sometimes it seems if I'm
connected in my office and walk over to a conference room that I'm not
reconnecting to the closest repeater and end up with a flakey
connection.
