Could you please add an ability to plot the users cellular reception as you move around the map? This would be very helpful for many users who are tracking that would like to look on the map and see where they had cell reception in case they need to go back to that place.

  Thank you Edgar. This could potentially work similarly to the record gps tracks feature. As you move around the map, a line is left behind you. This line changes color as your cellular reception signal changes. Green for full signal, yellow for some signal, and red for no signal. This would allow you to plot on your map where you have cellular reception. The app would simply pull the signal strength data from the phone as you move around.
