WEBSITE OF THE DAY: SignalMap.com

SignalMap.com
Ever check-in to a hotel only to find that your cell phone doesn’t have a signal? Don’t you hate that? Well, here’s a website that just might alert you to those weak signal locations. SignalMap is a user-generated website where visitors can log on and report cell phone signals. They have maps for all over the world and list every cell phone carrier for each country. I logged on to see how accurate it was for the area where I live and sure enough, there was a skull and bones (depicting no service) exactly where I don’t get a signal. However, there wasn’t a report for where my friend’s house is so I spent a quick 30 seconds red flagging the street for future visitors. Currently the website is in Beta-mode and that’s an understatement.
