There's MetrO, a great tool. Unfortunately there's no NIT version. I run a version on my Palm PDA. There are versions for Palm, PocketPC, MS Smartphone (that's WinCE, isn't it?), and a number of Symbian versions and more. But no NIT version.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the Palm version does work under GVM, likewise the networked updater tool MetrUp.

There's a web version though.
I gave it random start/stop points, output below:
