Map Areas With No Cell Coverage
Hey,
Stetson here.
In the last email I shared our solution to make mapping cellular coverage easy:
The all-new Coverage Map Speed Test integrated directly into the application.
BUT…
There was one more final challenge:
Could we make it so the application was able to map areas with NO cell coverage?
The answer:
YES.
That’s right!
You can now map areas with no cell phone service using the Coverage Map speed test.
Here’s how it works:
If you run a speed test in an area with no cell coverage and the test fails, we log that attempt locally on the phone
When you reconnect to service, we upload all of the failed speed tests to the map
The failed speed tests show on the map as areas with no cell coverage
This is the first crowdsourced map I am aware of that logs and shows areas with no cell coverage.
I’m so excited for you to check out this feature.
Here’s a quick 1 minute video on how it works:
To Recap:
✅ We are launching a new Coverage Map Speed Test integrated directly into the free Coverage Map app after 7 months of development and $100,000 of investment.
✅ The new Coverage Map speed tests makes it easier than ever to measure your cellular data speeds and contribute to the fastest-growing crowdsourced coverage map of all-time (that’s public facing).
✅ Our speed test brings five new features not found on other apps that we think you are going to love:
Run recurring tests based on a set number or a set amount of data
Set data limits within the app
Easily share your tests without having your results cropped out
Automatically map tests on the crowdsourced speed test map
Map no coverage zones
