For best results, disconnect from all access points while scanning for networks. The results from netsh seem to be more accurate when you are disconnected.
To use vistumbler in another language other than english, you first need to change the language in (Settings -> Language). If you language is not yet supported you can manually change your searchwords or help create a language pack (http://forum.techidiots.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6)
For The graphing to start, select an access point in the graph access point list
To use GPS you can use 'CommMG' or 'Netcomm OCX'. 'CommMG' is included, but it is less stable. With 'CommMG' if you unplug the GPS without turning it off then Vistumbler will crash. 'Netcomm OCX' does not have this problem. To use 'Netcomm OCX' it first needs to be installed ( http://home.comcast.net/~hardandsoftware/NETCommOCX.htm ). If you are using x64 vista, CommMG is your only option. Netcomm OCX is the recommended choice for GPS.
