Coverage?
We created Coverage? to help RVers, cruisers and travelers better plan their routes and stops to be within cellular coverage.
Coverage? is brought to you by the hosts of the Mobile Internet Resource Center.
What is Coverage?
The carrier’s coverage maps in your pocket!
The app directly overlays and compares cellular carrier data coverage maps from the major US and Canadian carriers.
It allows you to create your own personal coverage map for the carriers and signal type that matter to you.
Perfect for travelers - research where you’re covered across the USA and Canada.
Coverage focuses on helping mobile bandwidth junkies find cell signal as they roam. Save time looking up coverage on the carrier’s website, compare their claims and better plan travel routing based on where you’ll be able to keep connected.
Use Coverage to determine which direction is best to head towards when you need to get online, or which route is likely to keep you the most connected in your travels.
Plan lunch stops, overnight stops and prepare for high-tech camping!

Reviews & Endorsements
We launched Coverage? in 2010 after developing the mock-up over a weekend at iOSDevCamp.
The mock-up was the winner of the 'Most Useful Award' of the event.
We have kept it maintained since, as it's a critical tool in our own full time nomadic journey.
We're proud to have picked up some awesome endorsements!
I just found the new best coverage maps for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. It’s an app called Coverage? and it was developed by Chris and Cherie from MIRC. The latest update adds dedicated maps to Nationwide 5G and Mid-band 5G coverage! So awesome!
"Since campground Wi-Fi isn’t always reliable, the Coverage? app makes it easy to find cell service to aid with travel planning and working remotely."
Escapees RV Club
"Every RVer can utilize this app, but it is a lifesaver for those who heavily rely on good internet signal for work. This is especially great for those who use multiple carriers because you don’t have to flip back and forth between sites."
Lifehacker
“If you're a frequent traveler or you move around a lot, this app can be indispensable for leading you to the next well-covered area.”
Boy Genius Report

TUAW
