Cell Tower Location Website?

[BoonHauler]

Do any of you guys have a good website for cellular tower locations? .... with provider information?

I've heard they're apps for this but I don't have a smart phone, I need a website.

Thanks guys,

Cee

Most providers have coverage maps and we've found at least the AT&T and Verizon maps to be very accurate.

Sometimes it helps to know exactly where the tower is, especially if you are trying to use a directional antenna with a booster to increase the signal strength at your location.

the booster has no way to look at Rx strength? Those maps are nice but not necessarily accurate

We've found them very accurate...to the point that we checked the service behind a hill where the map showed no service vs moving to another spot on the other side of the hill where it showed good service and the bars changed accordingly.

Thanks guys for the info and yes, I'm using a booster but I'd also like to get the straightest shot at a tower so that will also have a bearing on where I'm camping as well.

The more info the better ... 😃

Thanks for those links. I've tried apps but they're flaky at best.

Probably the best resources available.
Keep in mind that just because you aim at a certain tower does not mean it will be the best. Load factors on the tower can seriously affect the results. Signal strength is not as important as QOS. You can have a full set of bars and still have poor quality signal.
