Does not include Xplor towers

It is a pretty comprehensive database but one notable exception is that Xplor towers are not included. I wonder why. Maybe because Xplor towers tend to be only in rural areas.

Grossly inaccurate

Micro sites and towers shown but don't exist. I confirmed with mobile provider when they were in the area. Developer is both arrogant and dishonest by not acknowledging wrong data.
