    I don't know if I'm losing it or not, but I seem to remember very recently that you could enter a search engine through this website to locate hotspots. I no longer see it, am I missing something?

    Do you have some websites that are good for finding out this information? I'm travelling to South Dakota next week and am anxious to scout out some locations.

    Thanks for all your help!

    Hawking Tech. has a free download for their "Hotspot Locator" software - a database type of thing that can be updated when you are online. A Google search should also give you links to hotspot locations.
