[kismac] Re: Mapping/GIS and other stuff?

You can "merge" the .kismac files by opening the saved file from your previous 
run and then hitting scan. The new data just adds on to whatever was saved. I 
have a separate .kismac file for all of my scanning locations and just open 
the appropriate one when I start a new session at a place I've been before.
