I ran across this article:

http://www.howtogeek.com/165614/how-to-create-a-wi-fi-heatmap-for-network-analysis-better-coverage-and-geek-cred-galore/

which shows doing a very nifty wifi map of your space. Unfortunately it uses a windows only program from Ekahau called HeatMap. I did a little web searching for a Linux equivalent program but have not found anything that included the mapping function. Does anyone know of one?

I am not sure how good that program is - I don't know but I imagine it's not going to run successfully in Wine, but have you tried?

There are a LOT of Wifi Mapping tools in Linux:

And others like this browser app:
