It seems like xt (xtraceroute) has been dropped from the repository, does anyone know of another graphical traceroute program in the main repos which draws maps? If not, then a loose deb package will do, or a PPA.

vtrace.mx4492.in is a little online tool I hacked together as an alternative. See if that serves your purpose. – Manav Aug 23 '12 at 21:22

Package/binary mtr does what you need. By default (I think), Ubuntu has mtr-tiny installed.

It should start with a GTK window, but you can always invoke it with mtr --gtk or mtr -- curses to specify what you want.

I forgot to mention my mapping requirement in the question, it has been updated. I don't believe mtr does maps? – Jeremy Nov 29 '10 at 3:46
Awesomely handy though, I didn't know that came in the base install. – Jeremy Nov 29 '10 at 3:53

By default, only mtr-tiny is installed, which has no gtk support. Issue "sudo apt-get install mtr" to remove this and install the full package. Running mtr at this point will invoke the gtk interface. But no maps, and I couldn't get it to actually work... – Scaine Dec 27 '10 at 16:51
