I really haven't ever had a problem with poor gps coverage except indoors & in parking garages - either with my phone GPS or my nuvi. Needless to say, if I need a GPS to get out of the parking garage, I must have bigger problems!

Before I had AT&T I had Verizon (which used to be GTE, which I got after I had Sprint then CellularONE and I also have a prepaid TMobile phone as well...) and there are just some places you won't get coverage with any of them.
