Good App

Fairy easy and clean GUI. Trace results are fairly accurate, though with a few more tweaks to the app it can find exact location of originating IP Adresses.

Rubbish

I would have suspected the location to be wrong but it can not even resolve an ip correctly!

handy, cant wait for updates

After a few traces i tend to get low memory warning, but it is still usable.

There needs to be a few UI enhancements but it is useable as it is.

App is handy for seeing the routes that internet traffic takes. Great route visualizer plus it gets the data back pretty quick.

once whatever causes the low memory issue is fixed, this will be a 5 star, but as it is, it does exactly what it is supposed to and it does it well. Nice job.

ZERAUSKIRE

Did you click the pretty little information logo on the bottom right of the screen? Looks like this (i). Genius.
Great app! Works fast and cleanly. Too bad google maps isn't more precise where I live. Otherwise, very neat.
P.S. - You should make it more idiot proof. zerauskire, for example. I also agree with sxs3200. The features he listed would be awesome!

Great niche app!

I used to love playing with traceroute maps back in the day. This is a neat, yet rather niche app idea that seems to stick to the "Keep it Very Simple" mentality. It figured out where I was, a VPN connection, and trace routes beyond the VPN. Obviously it didn't show the path the VPN took, but it works with it. If you want to play with this or test it, I'd recommend finding a lesser known/less popular site instead of google or cnn- something with more hops in different locations.

Features I'd like to see: More info such as latency, etc. on the pins when you press them or press the arrow. Right now the Arrow goes Safari. That's great, but most routers/hops won't have their own web page. Also, it would be nice to find a way to display or show multiple pins/hops at the same location on the map.

Good tool for Network admins, Webmasters/Web admins, etc.
