If you’ve ever gone on a road trip in the U.S., you know how hard it can be to keep track of mobile coverage. Enter “Coverage?,” a new iPhone app with coverage maps of all major mobile operators in the U.S.
Available for two bucks ($1.99), it’s made to provide users with the ability to better plan their trips with mobile data in mind. Requiring no Internet connection once downloaded to your iOS device, Coverage keeps all of the maps stored locally making sure you can access the maps even when there’s no network signal around.
You will be able to access to 3G, 2G and roaming maps from AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, and toggle between the maps from each carrier individually. Each of the operators has its own designated color so when the colors are combined you get an image that resembles weather report. In other words, this little app replaces the need to go through the carriers’ coverage maps showing all that data in a single screen. You can grab it from a link below, and before you (eventually) do that, we have a demo video to share. Enjoy!

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
