Amid the recent release of new ultrafast smartphone models, two interactive maps provide a reminder of the United States’ wireless divide and the incremental progress in closing it. This one shows areas that still lack coverage for 3G or 4G wireless coverage. It includes 1,738,828 residents—and 653,392 miles of highways and secondary roads (including a few stretches of the fabled Route 66 through northern New Mexico and Nevada). If you live in one of these areas, or are driving through, you’ll find no 4G or even 3G service for your new iPhone5, Droid Razr M, Nokia Lumia 900, or other smartphone.
