Hey
Just found out that Woosh have ripped off my idea of Google Maps and now show you locations of Cell Towers. Hey I should be getting some money for this!
My post to Geekzone and the page (quite old, but I don't think woosh have added any new sites).

and
http://wooshinfo.googlepages.com/locations.html
Firstly on their check coverage page you can now click on the "Google Maps" for the address you searched for. Notice once you have plugged in your address there is a "Link to Google Maps" up the top.
http://www.woosh.com/CommerceClient/Availability/Availability.aspx
The bugger is that it STILL doesn't show on the publc site the direction of the closest towers are.... <aarrgh!>
But NOW... if you login to your account, then click on Addresses, down the bottom of the page there is a link saying:
"To view your Physical address in Google Maps click here."
The link is http://www.woosh.com/CommerceClient/Availability/GoogleMap.aspx?TheRef=50000
The number is your customer number, so I havn't included that to protect the innosent, but a pluged in a random number to give you the idea :), but you can plug in any random number from 50000 and 200000 and it seems to work.
In that page they show you where your location is on Google Maps and "in theory" where the direction for three Access Points, plus the distance from your address, it doesn't show the actual access points, but their direction & distance.
Kinda cool. Yet lame since they don't show it in the main check availablility page as that is what everyone wants.
