It looks nice, and I’ve used similar solutions in the past. The problems are; when you update your server’s local library to a new version of iTunes or the operating system gets updated, the web app breaks. Webserver goes down, breaks. Sne

I travel the northeast (Acela corridor) by car and I can attest this map for voice coverage is not accurate to what you are actually capable of using. Ironically, there is an area marked with coverage from all major providers that locally i
