I do not trust the Sprint cell map site. It will not even display the
coverage map for the LA area. When I click on LA, I do not see a map and
therefore I question the accuracy of the maps for other areas.

Larry,

Please tell me how you can view the LA map? I downloaded and installed the
latest JAVA and have tired with both Internet Explorer and the Firefox
browsers. I would really like to see that map because I live in the OC area.

Thanks,

-mij

I can view some of the maps in other states however I cannot view most of
the California maps. Does anyone have any idea what is up with this?

But you trust usenet? Curious, that.

I'm pretty sure there is no Sprint native coverage at the Grand Canyon.
Only roaming on Alltel.

The Coverage Locator on the Verizon Wireless website shows "Extended
Digital" coverage at Grand Canyon Village, AZ (the south rim).
"Extended Digital" means digital roaming on some other carrier. So
someone has CDMA there.

It could be Alltel, who is the A-side CDMA carrier there and with whom
Sprint has roaming arrangements elsewhere. Or it could be the B-side
CDMA carrier Mohave Wireless. There is a current thread about them in
the alt.cellular.verizon newsgroup. They're 40% owned by Verizon, so
Verizon is probably roaming on them.

The Flagstaff, AZ map on the Sprint website just shows roaming (west of
Tuba City). So I guess none of this indicates if Sprint has analog or
digital roaming there. Have a nice trip and let us know what you find.
