Yeah, but there's a problem with small screens like my Asus eeePC 701.
I can't get to the "Screenshot" button unless I first open the left
hand AP list window. Even if I'm quick, I usually end up doing mouse
over on one of the other other icons that ring around the map. Hitting
the AP icon and doing a subsequent screen capture is more than tricky.
A keyboard shortcut for screenshot would be useful (along with an "are
you sure" when accidentally hitting the right mouse button).
I managed to highlight and grab 3 nearby AP's. All the plots are
useless:

(I also reduced the size of the PNG's from about 220KB to 50KB by
converting the overkill 24 bit color to 8 bits). Plots of the other
24 odd SSID's are equally useless.
The "Testnet" SSID, being located in the middle of the map, was an
accident. I prematurely hit the right mouse button about 1/5th of the
way through the course. Amazingly, it's located in the correct
location. Nothing else is even close. Some of the SSID's are located
off the map and miles away (I live on the side of a valley).
I'm still mystified as to what's happening. I'm doing something to
confuse the program. Perhaps it's having trouble dealing with 24
SSID's. I guess more trial and error will eventually deduce the
cause.
