Many companies, such as AT&T and Verizon, advertize how good their reception
is all over the US without providing actual data. Our app hopes to show the
actual reception and data coverage of the carriers that will be based on
actual data. A background service will be started when the app is first
launched and this service will then record the current provider, the signal
strength, and the current location. When a user first loads the
applications, a dialog box will ask them what providers they would like to
show on the map. Then, when a user loads the map either on the website or
the phone, the map will be drawn with a transparent overlay to show either
the signal strength or network type that the chosen carriers have in the
current area.
