Google Earth Coverage Maps
Add bookmark

Coverage mapsIf you're wondering what your local broadcaster's coverage area looks like, then here's a way to find out.  The files listed here contain transmitter placemarks and coverage maps for viewing in Google Earth (available for free).  Each package, organized by metro, lets you "see" the TV environment for all the local broadcasters, and lets you explore their coverage maps in a virtual 3D world.  In addition to helping you understand your OTA reception prospects, these maps can also be quite fun to play with!

You also have the option of browsing the Online Maps, available on this site.  The online maps are quick and easy without any downloading or Google Earth requirements, but they also lack the visualization features and detail available in the equivalent Google Earth maps.

If you install Google Earth and load any of the metro packages below, you'll have your choice of several coverage maps to view, like the one in the image above.

With the full 3D capabilities of Google Earth, you can "fly around" and explore the transmitters and coverage maps any way you like.

 

Requirements

 - Google Earth 4.0 or later (free download from here)
 - A very good 3D graphics card
 - Lots of RAM
 - Fast internet connection
 - BitTorrent client for downloading the files

 

About the maps

 - They DO take into account the transmitter power, frequency, antenna pattern, and height (according to the FCC)
 - They DO account for propagation losses due to terrain
 - They DO account for curvature of the Earth
 - They represent the expected signal strength near ground level
 - They DO NOT take into account your antenna gain, amps, elevated installation, or receiver sensitivity
 - They DO NOT account for building obstructions or indoor penetration
 - They DO NOT account for multipath

 

In very rough terms, the colors can be broken down as follows (not related to Antennaweb):

 - White is extremely strong.  Beware of signal overload on amps.
 - Red-yellow-green are all quite strong. You can expect reasonable coverage with an indoor antenna.
 - Cyan is where it's advisable to move the antenna up to the second floor or attic.
 - Blue is where it's probably necessary to install a good antenna on the roof.
 - Purple is quite weak and you really have to work at it for any chance of reception.

 

Please understand that this is a simulation and can only be treated as a rough approximation. Reception at your location is affected by many factors such as multipath, antenna gain, receiver sensitivity, buildings, and trees - which are not taken into account. Your mileage may vary.

For additional information, please see the Coverage Map FAQ.

 

The following files are downloadable via BitTorrent, so you will need to have an appropriate download client.  If you are new to BitTorrent, click here for an introduction and other useful information.  Some popular free BitTorrent clients include

uTorrent (Windows)
Azureus/Vuze (Java, any platform, open source)
Deluge (Python & C, cross-platform, open source)

 

If you want to find the map for a specific callsign, try searching through our Callsign List.  This includes a list of all the callsigns included in each of metro packages.

* The coverage maps in the Anchorage file are not valid because the terrain database does not extend above 60 degrees north latitude.

 

All TV Fool Coverage Maps (as of August 2009)

If you would like to download all the files as a group, that can be accomplished with this torrent (current, 276 files, 6.3 GB) or this torrent (pending, 276 files, 6.7 GB).

WARNING: These downloads are very big, so make sure you have enough disk space before starting.  It is also not recommended for anyone with a slow Internet connection.  Even with a fast DSL or cable connection, downloads of this size could take many hours or even a few days to complete.  These bundled torrents are simply being provided as a convenient option for those enthusiasts who want to have it all.  You have been warned!

 

Additional comments

 - The coverage maps are not initially turned on when the file is loaded.  You need to expand the folders to select the coverage maps to view.  A description of how to do this is in the Coverage Map FAQ.

 - The terrain variations are easier to see if you set the terrain exaggeration to 3 (max) in the Google Earth options.

 - FYI, the standard coverage maps are created with roughly 1000 foot resolution at ground level.  In order to truly understand the reception issues at a particular location (e.g., the roof of your house), it's better to look at a more detailed analysis such as a radar plot since they are simulated at much higher resolution and are specific to a location in 3D space.  On a single page, you can simultaneously see the signal strength of all nearby channels for your exact location.

Plot sample

 - If you notice any errors, please let us know.  If any data has been incorrectly extracted from the FCC database, they should be corrected for future simulations.

 

Change log

30-Aug-2009
 - Updated all MSA packages with both current and pending versions

12-Mar-2009
 - Updated all MSA packages with both current and post-transition versions

20-Dec-2008
 - Updated all MSA packages with both current and post-transition versions
 - All coverage maps are now color coded according to Noise Margin as opposed to signal strength.  Since digital broadcasts can get equivalent coverage with less power than analog broadcasts, this new coloring scheme should provide more of an apples-to-apples comparison of analog and digital coverage area.  It is the same coloring scheme used in the online coverage maps and also the "cross section" profile views you get when clicking on individual transmitters in the radar plots.
