[Netstumbler] Ploting in MapPoint--was [Netstumbler] Zyxel Card Support?

["The Captain" <thecaptain101@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

<<Stumbverter is the only way to plot all the AP details on a map since the 
script does not get any AP detail from NetStumbler.>>

Stumbverter probably is the best way to plot the points, but not the only 
way. I have a link to the procedure I've been using on my War Sailing page,

http://www.catalina42.org/war-sail/

It's a bit messy, but works. It also supports MapPoint 2001 & 02. On this 
page is a .PTM file you can open directly into MapPoint.
