What are we looking at?
• Provider data is from most recent submission, drive test data was collected in July 2011 (drive test data is a function of signal strength and other factors)
• Drive test points are colored by speed (up and down), gray-scale colors represent speeds below broadband, colored dots are above broadband minimum (warmer colors represent faster speeds)
• Provider submitted data is blue
• Main campgrounds and visitor centers are marked
