There are a bunch of tools available that help you track down a free internet hotspot, but LifeHacker has two we think are worth a look at.
The first is the newly published Free Wi-Fi/Hotspot Finder Google Maps mashup which will show you the closest hotspots based on the location you type in - allowing you to plan ahead. On this same site is a great app called wiPod which allows you to select the areas (in America) that you’re interested in and download those maps to your iPod for easy access.
The second Mashup is Hotspotr, which has a cooler name and a cooler interface but apparantly (according to LifeHacker) the maps are not as good. Naturally, we suggest you try them yourself –
