Find a WIFI hotspot near you

Maybe it's me but i haven't been able to successfully find a WIFI spot, with my first generation and non-3G iPhone, if I'm not connected somehow to the internet (WIFI...).
There are some apps out there, if you do a search in the app-store on "wifi" or "spot". But they are of no great use for me outside my usual habitat.
As a healthy mobile and internet addicted person you want to avoid the situation where you feel lost. You want to check out a map or connect to the local public transport information send a geotagged snapshot to your favourite social network and so on.
The easiest way could be the check out this website with the worldwide WIFI spot finder : www.free-hotspot.com (Before you go on your trip )
Find the nearest hotspot and voila you take it from there!
