Vistmbler Detect Wi-Fi Hotspot, Maps Them

Windows Vista only: Free, open-source application Vistumbler scans wireless networks within range of your Wi-Fi antenna, tracks signal strength over time, and handles pretty much everything else that other apps of this kind do. What sets Vistumbler apart from the rest is its support for GPS and live Google Earth tracking, which plots hotspots on a map. The whole thing is really cool, but unfortunately I (and I suspect many of you) don’t have the tools on hand to try out the really impressive features. Still, Vistumbler is an excellent tool even without without the GPS to Google Earth mapping. Vistumbler is free download, Windows Vista only. If you’re on XP and you want similar Google Earth integration with previously mentioned NetSumbler, check out Earth Stumbler.

  1. Yeah right, The vistumbler installer set AVG off like it was the end of the world. The software is a virus installer.

  2. It contains the worm Autoit.DNV according to AVG. Sent the file in for analysis so we’ll see if this is a false alarm.
