CellMapper is a crowd-sourced cellular tower and coverage mapping service. By contributing data to the website, you can help map actual coverage of cellular networks based on real life conditions.
Once the data is uploaded to the site, it will be used to extract details of individual antennas on each cell phone tower along with the position and technical details of that tower. Likewise, the coverage and signal strength of the network in areas that have been mapped.
