I firstly thought Thinkpad owners can see how many metres they are away from different hotspots. As it turned out when i enlarged the picture, its only the signal strength, huh, makes sense.
But is there a tool that lets you see where you are, and where the hotspot (the wlan router for example) is?
Maybe with a 3d-map.

dont know about 3-D map but may be http://www.wifi411.com/ would help? not so much of a program. i heard that it exists somehwere a small hardware device to assist in locating a hotspot when it is in the near, sort like a locator

Nearest I could think of is a directional antenna, but then that only gives you the general direction and not the actual spot.

Hah, no, not really
For example your visiting your grandmother and after your arrival it gets really boring, so you try to find a wlan there (wait!). So after you found a secured / or not secured one, you want to ask the owner if you can use it while your are residenting there. But you don't know where the wlan is located...
Some tool for locating WLAN's
