I've heard wierd things about digitraveler. I'll try it with my garmin when I get
home.

I'll also try it with the latest kismet_drone and server. the Ipkg on openwrt is out of date by about 3 releases. Edit: I'm an idiot, WR RC3 has updated to the latest kismet in thier ipkg. Did'nt know that

White Russian is up to RC3, btw.
Will be updating the guides accordingly

One other thing: it spawned a huge number of kismet processes (I think they might've been kismet_client?) - need to figure out how to cut that down, but I'm guessing that's in one of the .conf files.
Actually no, it seems to be a thing with cygwin in general. It creates alot of processes, but they are'nt out of control. No one seems to know why, but that's just how kismet runs on Cygwin

Oh, to anyone installing Cygwin anew and testing it: use my list of packages above for a quicker install, as those are all that's needed. I'm guessing that at least a couple of those are really superfluous (e.g. ImageMagick) since they're really for gpsmap and not for kismet. Oh, yeah, need to try to get gpsmap running, heh.
One of these days I'll sit down and figure out exactly which packages you need to install to get kismet/gpsd to compile and run. But proboly not today.
