I don't even know that it's explicitly illegal. Google maps is allowed to warn you about speed traps.

I agree, it probably isn't really explicitly illegal. But if one put together such a thing, depending on how they decided to use it, I have a hunch that the State would find something to charge them with. I'll resist the temptation to say more, to avoid going too overtly political here.
I'm pretty sure it's not outside of the range of ANYONE to whip up in a fortnight, and have distributed near instantaneously.

If anything, it's the most basic of "wireless site survey" applications.
