GPS: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-65CH-USB-GPS-Dongle-Car-GPS-Receiver-/221247215239?pt=US_Tracking_Devices&hash=item33835c9687 It does work. With its drivers installed, directly to vistumbler. I get Lat and Lon that are "close"; +- a house or so. The tree view in Google Earth is ...

I got my 65 channel gps dongle. it has a set of virtual com port drivers that install as "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM7) on my system.

ah yes, and in my case, descending order as well.

I have auto sort set to sort on "signal" descending; which it does. however, for the part of the list that has a "signal" of zero, it appears to resort those AP on each pass. however, the "order" changes. It's not like a "bug" per se. It just begs the question...

Now that's cool. Thanks.

Label prompt has the word Manufacturer.
Enter key does not work as "OK"...should it?

OH, did I say THANKS!

I would like to add to the wish list: Right-click context menu on the main AP list. One of the selections would be "Set label". It would then prompt for a text field that would be entered for that AP's label by MAC. This would eliminate having to rekey the MAC to make a label entry. Unless...

I have native wifi mode selected, so i sent ms a note asking for an explanation...jon

You have my vote for a new option...thanks for considering, jon

it appears that even if i stop scanning APs, that auto-sort continues to sort. was this the intention? i would have expected auto-sort to start and stop with scanning.... but that is just me. thoughts?

Ok. I better understand saving/recovery and settings problem first tab work around---
Thanks for your help, Jon

I tried changing the auto sort settings and went down the same rabbit-hole.

Fixed the colors--thanks! Something else got damaged because it doesn't ask to recover the db, it just starts without any APs. Edit: I think all of the column widths are all zero as well. I think I will try deleting the settings file and see what happens. Edit: That's better...just have to retune th...

i don't see a settings.ini in Vistumbler/, just vistumbler_settings.ini in Vistumbler/Settings.

Hi, The first time I tried adding the manufacturer it said it was already there. This time it added it without complaint and I saw the same behaviors as you did. However, when I said OK to the settings, it stalled for a minute or so and now I have a black background window with white stripes and no ...
