Still makes the network look like it's 2001. They need to do it like T-Mobile imo. Make the map bigger, and use more defined colors.

Still not at all accurate. West Michigan still shows alot more coverage than there is in reality. It should show a pencil thin green stripe covering the major highways only. Off highway coverage is still pretty much non-existant on the west side of the state. But thats IPCS for you. Cover up to 1 mile(max) off the highway and show 4-5 miles on the map. Then scratch your head trying to figure out where all the no-service complaints are coming from. Maybe they need to hire a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Can anybody come up with an actual RF map for Sprint? I wish Sprint would breakdown and post one themselves. That would be much more helpfull.

They still have a glitch in the map for Vermont. For a long time now, they only show future coverage in many places of vermont (which has actually been up and running for quite some time now) on the SMALL version of the map. Once you click it to englarge it, the future coverage spots are no longer there. Odd.

Yes there are a few little glitches like that. The person in charge of quality control needs to get fired. lol

Yes I was dissapointed that they retained the old styling. I was hoping for a size increase and/or color change this time. I guess we'll have to wait another year for the next change.

Whats there left to change? Maybe next year they will throw in another shade of green to confuse people even more!

The new maps still don't show the new Montana coverage.
