About

OpenTrace is a cross-platform GUI wrapper for NextTrace. Bringing you a sense of familiarity. Note: This build uses a dirty approach to run program with cap_net_raw caps. You'll need to allow pkexec to setcap at the first use. If map isn't showing up, try switching to Google maps in File->Preferences.
