**Note: There is a bug in the Samsung Galaxy S II running Android 2.3.4 related to signal strength.  Please update to the latest firmware if your SGS2 reports "Invalid data"

Coverage Mapper is a crowd sourced cellular coverage mapping application.

Coverage Mapper will record and submit cellular signal strength data to a central server, to generate accurate coverage maps for your provider.

Please check out the website (http://www.coveragemapper.com), preferably on a computer, to get a better understanding of the application before downloading it.  The application only logs data.  It does not display the map.

As you travel with the application running, it records your device's signal strength, tied to your current location.  This data is all uploaded to a central server, where it is aggregated with the data from other users, and averaged into accurate coverage maps that show not just where a provider has coverage, but also how good the coverage is.

CDMA support is in testing, but should work.

This is a beta application. Please report any issues on the forum or by email.

Since this question is frequently asked, install to SD is not an option, because Coverage Mapper runs as a background service, which cannot be moved to the SD card.

Does a good job and is light on the battery This app does a good job of collecting data. It doesn't take up a lot of battery which is nice. I like how detailed the maps are; you can see exactly on the map were you always drop calls.

Nice idea, too many limitations. Got to have screen constantly on, and Must use gps too...

by Dan the 7/12/2011

@ David, it says right when installing it needs the device in no sleep mode, that's why it has a black screen button to save battery. App works well.

by David the 7/6/2011

Requires screen to be on.

Works well on N1, not as polished as Sensorly but does a better job vs opensignalmaps or openbmap. Just wish more ppl used it!

by Marco the 5/20/2011

Perfect. Best and fastest coverage mapper.

by None the 5/18/2011

This is the best coverage mapper.

by savbers the 4/17/2011

Works great and helps me get a lock on GPS faster on my vibrant. Thanks!

by AntonioL the 3/31/2011

Good idea but, it starts itself when I have clicked stop logging and eats up my battery. I have to kill it alot. Uninstalled untill needed for now.

by MO the 3/20/2011

Sometimes doesn't activate GPS. Sometimes data in new areas is not added to coverage map. Otherwise, very useful!
