Verizon updates EVDO coverage mapping application

Alex

Verizon recently updated their online coverage mapping application and now allows users to enter street addresses, as well as drag map around for much quicker and easier research of their EVDO BroadBandAccess coverage.

A much needed upgrade! The old Verizon coverage map tool was very limited. Very Happy

The new coverage map doesn't work with Firefox/2.0.0.9, or at least my copy of it. I get the first map (national view), but zooming in or entering an address displays an empty map. Entering an address does show a pushpin for the address, and the nearest Verizon tower, but still no map.

I have Flashblock installed, but flash apps give me a "play" button to click to enable them. I don't see such a button....

Verizon has a lot of work to do in Virginia. There is virtually no EVDO coverage around the Blue Ridge Parkway area. I couldn't believe it when I was driving through.

My copy of Firefox 2.0.0.9 doesn't want to work either. (W2k SP4)
I can get the main map, change to Broadband & V Cast, but two things are missing. One is the ability to use the search by address.
The other is that the map legend is blank.

I just tried IE and the legend fills in.
I can use search, too.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11, the Verizon coverage maps work fine.
