Does anyone know of an app like this which can display Bluetooth devices like in Radar form?

I don't think cell phones can actually figure out how far or in which direction other bluetooth devices are.

The strength of the signal, can tell the distance, imo...

aatuif is right, there should be a way to give a rough gauge of the distance by the strength. Anyway, axxxr, I remember I came across a Symbian app that would alert the user when the bluetooth device in question came within a certain distance. Can't remember the name of the app off-hand as I've not used a Symbian phone for a while.

You may notice that in Windows, there is an option to check the "signal strength" of the nearby bluetooth devices . However , I doubt if that would be helpful in determining the exact location of the device as signal strength could vary. Also, there are 100m devices and 10 m ones so in some cases the 100m device could be further away and might still have a stronger signal..what in such a scenario??
