I have used Wavion Coverage Tool which uses iperf tool (command line tool) & GPS plotting for testing wireless thoroughputs then plotting the signal strengths & bandwidth on Google Earth

You can use the graphical interface called JPerf to view the data transfer rates of Iperf , no GPS plotting.

Interesting article on the Ubiquiti Forum

Now to find that NASA tool called GPSiPerfView which allows you to plot your bandwidth & GPS Co-ords.
Here is a linux script that you use with your USB GPS I generates a xml to generate the GPS co-ords and bandwidth data for Google Earth as seen by this below KML from the WCT above

<?xml version="1.0"?>
