The record

Purpose: Vistumbler is an open-source wireless network scanner for Windows that maps and visualises nearby access points using wireless and GPS data.
Scanning: It finds access points through the Windows Native WiFi API or netsh.
GPS: It supports COM/NMEA GPS receivers.
Exports: It supports access point import and export, plus KML and GPX export.
Live tracking: It offers live Google Earth tracking and audio alerts.
Requirements: The stable release lists Windows 10 and 11 support and requires .NET Framework 4.
License: Vistumbler is free and open-source software licensed under GPLv2 unless an individual release specifies otherwise.
Downloads: Official releases include installer, source, and portable ZIP downloads; the downloads page says official releases do not bundle third-party installers or adware.
Security: The project recommends verifying provided checksums and using standard anti-malware practices when installing.
Privacy: The software can collect GPS and WiFi location data when run, while the website says it does not collect device location unless it is explicitly submitted, such as through WiFiDB.
Integrations: WiFiDB accepts wireless scan uploads, including scans gathered by Vistumbler or other scanners, and creates statistics and maps from them.
Support: The project directs questions about its terms or licensing to its forum or GitLab repository.
Limitations: The project advises disconnecting from access points while scanning for best results and checking that the correct network adapter is selected if no access points appear.
Intended use: The terms describe the software as intended for legitimate network analysis and WiFi mapping, and prohibit unauthorized network access and nonconsensual monitoring.
