Was looking the other day for a Spark tower I'd seen on the gis.geek map, but the tower itself doesn't seem to be where the map says it should be, and in fact I can't seem to see a Spark tower anywhere nearby, despite those frequencies being registered for a long time. Are those coordinates sometimes not on the money?

 

Looking at the spark coverage map, there does seem to be good signal around that area.

Are you certain it is a tower, or is it just flagged as a cell site?

I was just going off what the gis.geek site said, the reason I was checking in the first place was more just out of interest, filtering through the sites with Spark 5G frequencies registered and noticed the Brightwater one, but when I went looking, I couldn't even find the tower/site. And no 5G in that area yet, but I am aware often the frequencies will be registered quite some time before it actually goes live. 

 

Perhaps the gear is there on a building or something, but I couldn't see anything when driving past. Seemed odd.
