When pausing during the middle of a survey, I often have issues when restarting because the survey tool can’t determine exactly where I am in the building when I click on the map.

Often, AirMagnet will crash and you will have to reboot your laptop or tablet to start it again. Data will be lost if you haven’t saved it.

If anything, the rendering speed when doing or looking at large surveys could be faster, but I understand that sheer volume of information is the issue.

I haven't been able to decide whether it is stable. I've had issues every now and again, but I cannot 100 percent say it was the fault of the software or the fault of my laptop.

I would just like to see integration of more wireless cards to have a broader group of cards you could use, instead of just a couple of specific ones.
