Let me see if I can figure out what you are trying to say....for
locating access points that are not your own use net stumbler.
For making your own you MUST buy the same brand as your router, there
a few exceptions, but for home use think of it as not an option.

You want the physical location of the AP you are connected to? You'd
have to do some local wardriving with a GPS and plot out signal
strengths on a map, or do some fox-hunting with a directional antenna.

Us the wireless configurator built into windows to look for APs, or
Netstumbler...

I don't understand this, you have an app on your desktop that you
_want_ other people to download? Set up a WWWeb or FTP server on the
DMZ of your router...
