Interesting how much wider Verizon covers the west vs. AT&T.

I am on AT&T and motorcycle quite a bit through the backcountry and use a real GPS navi for that reason. Trusting your phone is useless.

Such a change coming from Europe where I stay connected on any pass through the Alps.

There is nothing wrong with using your phone for GPS. You just need to also use a mapping program that is optimized for offline usage such as OnX [0].

I hoped the FirstNet build out would have helped... but nope, not really.
