When you log into your account, it determines your local market, and displays addresses of new towers. Better than that, it also provides links depicting the graphical coverage and the improvement made! It's so cool that it gave me a chubby
I have yet to find how to navigate to it once logged into your account, but I'm sure there's a way...

IS there any way to switch markets on it. Since my number is a DC number but I live in Philly, is there anyway to see tower addons in the Philadelphia area

Making this available to their entire customer base (Compass is not well known) is certainly a bold and customer friendly move. They seem to be making a real push in the coverage area - both improvements and bragging about improvements. I love it.
From a geeky perspective I also like that the site ID is included in the URL too. [e.g. &ZipCode=SF23002B]
Hopefully it will put some pressure on the other majors to publish better maps and info about their new sites.

Nice!!!!!! There are many towers in NYC. I have noticed that the ones with a fake house on top of the apartment buildings are AT&T's, since they are using the same gray thick panels for their 2G/3G, while T-Mobile has the newer white panels with a red dot on the bottom. They also have the old panels.

The one in Lakeville won't fall over and hit you??? It's in between 140 and 495...
Wish I could zoom out to see better, but looking at the coverage (which is most likely an estimate) it will miss me by several miles. I hope Im wrong. Now are those towers currently being build, or plans to be built?
Nice! Sprint already does this but plots the new and future towers on thier normal coverage map allowing you to zoom in, out, and around.
I like to see that T-Mobile is continuing to expand in my area despite the already relatively dense coverage they have here. Theres over a dozen new sites listed in my greater metro area. I just wonder how new is new?

In my case all towers (~10) from the list are already built and working

Since it sais new towers I'm willing to bet anything on the list should be online.

New as in the last few months it seems. The SF Bay Area has been getting 5 to 10 new sites a month, and the ones listed for us are selected from that period. Maybe because they made the greatest improvements?
