Cellr maps every cell tower around you so you can find the closest signal source, point your antenna, and understand your coverage. WHY CELLR? Whether you live in a rural area on the edge of coverage, work from an RV, run a wireless ISP, or just want to know which carrier owns the tower outside your window — Cellr turns the invisible cellular network into a clear, interactive map. FEATURES • Live tower map — pan and zoom to see LTE, 5G, GSM, UMTS, and CDMA towers around your location • Distance and bearing — Cellr calculates how far each tower is from you and which compass direction to face • Built-in compass — align your phone (or directional antenna) at any tower with the live magnetometer compass • Tower details — radio type, carrier, MCC/MNC, LAC, cell ID, sample count, and approximate range • Coverage overlay — terrain-aware viewshed shows the line-of-sight footprint of any tower • Carrier filter — show only towers from a specific carrier (Premium) • Nearest list — sorted list of the closest towers with quick-tap details WHO IT'S FOR • Rural residents looking for the strongest signal • Travelers, vanlifers, and RV users planning routes around coverage • Network engineers and antenna installers aligning directional gear • Curious tinkerers who want to know what's broadcasting nearby PRIVACY Location is used only on-device to compute distance and bearing to nearby towers — Cellr does not sell or share your precise location. Tower data comes from public crowdsourced datasets. NOTE Tower positions are crowdsourced approximations of cell-site locations. Coverage estimates are computed from public terrain data and are intended as planning aids, not guarantees of service.
