After a lot of work, we are pleased to announce that a public beta of WirelessMon 2.0 is now available.

The main new features are;

• GPS support added
• A Map tab has been added. You can select an image to display and then click on areas of the image or use GPS co-ordinates to take a sample of SSID strengths. This allows a Wireless coverage map to be generated.
• Zooming in and out of the map and placing access point icons on the map.
• Redesigned user interface with new menu and toolbar. The original buttons and configuration tab have been removed, settings can be changed under the configuration menu.
• Ability to connect to an access point
• A channel graph showing the channels in use (and potential interference)
• A count of secure and insecure access points found
• Re-sizable window

Please be aware this is a beta version and there are probably still a few bugs, if you have a bug to report or comments to make please email us at help [at] passmark [dot] com. Below are some images from version 2.0.
