Mobile Reception Maps

Got Reception?

GotReception? uses Google Maps to show cellular phone coverage in the United States. Using the map anyone can search a location to see which carrier has the best ratings in the area. People can also share their experiences with others by posting their own rating for their carrier.

The site uses a heat map to show mobile phone coverage and allows the user to view the coverage of the major mobile phone providers. It is possible to search the map by location, link to any map view and embed a map in your own website or blog.

Orange UK Coverage

In the UK mobile hone company Orange have produced a Google Map to show where users can get a good reception. The site uses a heat map to show the quality of coverage in different locations.

It is possible to search the map by postcode and it is possible to compare six different locations for the quality of coverage.

  1. The other ad where there is a guy, his face stuffed with ice cream perched upon a perfectly white clean linen laid out bed looks awful. It could have been a better shot with maybe him not looking so messy or he could even be doing something more appealing...just a thought
