There needs to be some kind of map that everyone can use, or else the scenario will be that all rival maps are used for different things. Something like a plug-in for 'The' map that allows people to see stuff li ke Wi-Fi conjestion, or historical sites. Tell me how Google will know if an airport EVDO is congested at different times of the day. This 'hack' is like everything at evdo-coverag ecom, misleading and not true. The page you document, even states: "Hig hest Probability of EVDO Congestion". This is a just a link between Goog le maps and population statistics, there is nothing real-time and nothin g that is useful. com is a map based on our user's ANON input of where they most commonly use evdo... you are correct that it is not realtime, not even verizon wireless has a real time nationwide evdo activity lookup si nce VZW is actually a couple of different patched together companies who se computer systems have not been integrated. As far as "nothing that is useful" i recommend "Who moved the Cheese" - Hope the rest of your week brightens up...
