How far apart do I have to place the elements does anyone have the math. formula for this?

Isn't a "Yagi" used for war driving?

 

probably, its used for any long range wireless ..

Generally a Yagi is too big for war driving. If you're just crusing around looking for open APs then you usually don't need a big antena.

I use 2, a 7 dbi omni-directional magnetic and a 5 dbi paddle, also omni. Gets all the signals I need in NYC.
