Is there a website where I can enter GPS coordinates (easily available from GoogleMaps) and get back some metric indicating the signal strength I can expect at that location for all the major cellphone carriers?
i.e., Enter your GPS coordinates here ____________, ____________
Click "Return", and get:
T-Mobile will provide ___ "bars" at 40.023153, -75.188351
Sprint will provide ___ "bars" at 40.023153, -75.188351
AT&T will provide ___ "bars" at 40.023153, -75.188351
Verizon Wireless will provide ___ "bars" at 40.023153, -75.188351
And by "the signal strength I can expect at that location", I would ideally hope that this would be some aggregate of (a large sample of) real-user data collected through some "app" (that users opt into for the greater good of all consumers, including their future selves), NOT a self-serving guesstimate made by each wireless company.
