EVDOmaps.com is a free service of the EVDO Experts at 3GStore.com and EVDOinfo.com, the proud host of EVDOforums.com

EVDOMaps.com is NOT meant to be an authoritative "coverage map".
It is a site where members of EVDOforums can post actual speed test results and descriptions of their gear, so that others can see what service was like at that moment in time, from that user's location.

The objectives of this free tool are:

1) See new EVDO Rev A areas before they are officially announced
2) Determine which areas may be "overloaded"
3) See how our antennas and amplifiers may help in specific locations

When adding a record in EVDOmaps, we encourage you NOT to enter your home or office full address... instead, enter a nearby intersection into the address field.

If you use one of Booster-Antenna.com's antennas or amplifiers, please consider taking the time to post results with and without the antenna/amp so that others may see what benefit you gain.
If you are not using an Antenna or Amp, please leave that field blank.

Latency is reported when you do a ping (we like pinging Google), if you don't know how to do this, please leave this field blank.

It is important to fill in dBm (but not required). You can get this in the About box in VZAccess Manager or hovering the mouse over the signal in the Sprint Connection Manager, it will probably be an number between -50 & -115

If you post an entry with a download/upload speed of 0/0, we will most likely delete it, please post as much info as possible

We encourage you to do speed benchmarks, and prefer that you use either of these sites:

http://speedtest.net

be sure to copy the benchmark image when you are done, so you can paste it into your EVDOmaps record.

For example, DSLreports, returns this:
