They are GPS units - I quizzed the Sears man

I've seen those equipment pods on the top of Sears vans as well, but I figured they were OmniTracs units (a satellite-based vehicle tracking system, see www.omnitracs.com). Can't say for sure, but I'm guessing the 802.11 gear is somewhere inside the van.

Anyone here know for sure what an OmniTracs unit looks like?

I've stumbled onto an Ad-Hoc network from a Sears Van today! It's outfitted with a real nice setup. I pick up signal from far away. I just wanted to share...
