	Updated: March 12: added WiFi Pineapple instructions

Requirements

Laptop / Desktop
 - Kali Linux installed with Kismet setup and working.
 - Android-sdk tools installed.
 - Giskismet, Google Earth or something similar with the 
   ability to parse KML files

Android Device
 - GPS Capable
 - BlueNMEA installed on the Android Device. 
   BlueNMEA is an Android application which sends location data 
   over Bluetooth (RFCOMM) or TCP in the NMEA format.

WiFiPineapple - Optional
 - GPSD, libgps, libgpsd & adb installed on the WiFiPineapple: unofficial packages HERE
 - Startup script

Step One

Preparing the Android device:
 1.	Make sure that you have enabled USB Debugging Mode enabled on the android device.
 	 Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging

 2.	Install BlueNMEA and open then application.

 
Step Two
 Preparing scanning laptop/Desktop or WiFiPineapple:
 1.	Install 'android-sdk, gpsd and gpsd-clients'. 
 
	   Laptop/Desktop: apt-get install android-sdk gpsd gpsd-clients
	   WiFiPineapple: opkg install gpsd libgps libgpsd adb		  

 2.	Once adb has been installed and confirmed working, issue the following commands on the laptop to forward TCP port 4352 
	from the Android device to the laptop/desktop or use the Startup script. 
    
	   adb forward tcp:4352 tcp:4352

	   Note: If you get an error that the command adb is not found, ensure that you have i386 dependencies enabled.
	         This is a known issue, which can be resolved by issuing the following commands:
             
		   dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install ia32-libs lib32ncurses5 
				
				
 3.	Now issue the following command to get GPSD listening on the forwarded port '4352'. 
	If you are using the Startup script, this step can be skipped. 
 
	   gpsd -N -n -D5 tcp://localhost:4352
	
 4.	Launch Kismet and go scanning...

Step Three
 Visualizing and Mapping the data:

 1.	Pull the data from the *.netxml file into the giskismet database with the following command:
 
	   giskismet -x Kismet-DATE***.netxml

 2.	Using the giskisment database, export the data into KML format:
 
	   giskismet -q "SELECT * FROM WIRELESS" -o output.kml
  
 3.	Load the output.kml file into Google Earth.
