MacinJosh Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Maybe, but The one at Hualapai way and the 159 is easy to see. Edit: Wow, even in street view it looks great! Yeah, Summerlin stopped growing in that area long ago. South Summerlin, Mountain's Edge in the south and Centennial Hills in the North are the new growth areas in Vegas.

S4GRU Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Columbia, MO Got it. Thanks! However, there is another New Tower located in the far NW corner of the Las Vegas area... just off the I95 at Horse Dr... it is West of a large park called Floyd Lamb Park. Got it. This one is definitely new. Thanks! Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm just teasing Ben. And the one off of US 95 looks to possibly be on a street lamp on Oso Blanca Rd. Too bad the map doesn't zoom in any closer. And Robert, this one isn't listed on your Vegas map in the Sponsors section. This is the same site that Ben posted west of Floyd Lamb Park. what I've done is find the location of the tower the best i can on Sprints maps, then go to google maps (satellite view) and try to find the tower. Edit: works well for the tower at s hualapai and the 159.. you can see the tower just west of the Bank of Nevada. I use mapper.acme.com. It's easy to harvest the GPS coords from that one. I can also quickly switch between Google Terrain, Google Maps and Satellite with Acme Mapper. Highly recommend. I'm not having any trouble finding these sites. All are either building rooftops or existing co-located sites. Satellite imagery is a great thing. Keep 'em coming! Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 This is the same site that Ben posted west of Floyd Lamb Park. I looked on Google Maps for that site and not only does it not show up on Google satellite view, but Street View doesn't show even the Storage One facility by the area. Google is falling behind on their work of mapping the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat looking palm tree right next to the storage place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethonastar Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just as I figured, nothing new here in the red headed step child area. But at least the upgrades are back! Yay! same here in 29569. sprint hasn't put a new tower up here in probably over 10 years or more. there's a huge gap of coverage east of 29569 and west of 29569. these places are highly populated and every other provider but t-mobile and sprint has towers every 2 to 3 miles apart in this county. t-mobile has better coverage than sprint even, but they both drop the ball big time here. i'm sure 800mhz will help out but really they need one more tower in the center of the big gap east of 29569 and 2 towers west of 29569. eh whatever they only care about the big metro cities.

I understand your frustration. However, coverage complaints are not the purpose of this thread. I have excellent coverage in my rural area. Sprint's rural coverage is highly variable. But, it is better than Tmo in 90% of areas. You live in one of the anomaly areas, then. And although AT&T does have better rural coverage than Sprint, AT&T loves to stick it to their rural customers. Sprint is putting LTE over it's entire coverage area. AT&T said they will not because it is throwing a tantrum about not being able to buy out Tmo and is sticking a big middle finger up at their rural customers who want LTE.

You need to upload the photo to photo bucket or something similar, get the image link url and then click image button while posting a reply and then paste the link there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or sign up for DropBox: http://db.tt/ORwcIuSo Thanks, Guys! I was hoping there would be just a simple attachment button in the reply box, or something.. and I was just missing it. Makes it easier and quicker that way, imo. Certainly eliminates a few steps anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leerage Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I didn't find any in my hometown. I looked around Manhattan KS, Wichita KS, and Topeka KS but did not find any. I did happen to find this one in North Liberty Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDTD Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 No new towers in dirty old Mississippi, but it was nice to see that they're again planning to make their rounds to the towers in the city that get so much traffic and upgrade backhaul/ capacity. That's certainly new and a welcome thing. The speeds around my area are usually pretty good after the initial round of upgrades last year, but future proofing is always welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
