Weirdness on PCC

Does anyone know what 'brown' coverage means on the PCC map? Try typing in Laguna Beach, CA and then click on one of the mountains just outside of it (it looks like a dead spot).

I've tried on two different computers now and with two different browsers (Opera and Internet Explorer), and it shows up as brown instead of green, yellow, blue, or gray. Does this mean something different or is it just a glitch? Thanks in advance.

I saw the brown too, near the Irvine bowl park and the Laguna coast wilderness park right? Im guessing no signal for those happy campers.

Could that indicate 850MHz roaming? I am not a T-Mobile employee, but its a guess.

I don't think so . . . that usually shows up as checkered. Btw - thanks for the post gsmcentral - at least now I know it's not just something with our network here at my store.

Does anyone else have any ideas on this?

Why....I don't know, but the brown indicates some sort of City Park or State Preserve. Not like a normal park, some special area. There is one in Phoenix too.

Enter Baseline Rd and 32nd St in Phoenix AZ. Just south is "South Mountain" it's an in city preserve area. (P.S. it's also the world's largest city park! The whole area of no coverage that juts into the city is the park.)

In the case of South Mountain, there isn't any service, just mountain and desert.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Thanks! I was thinking that it might be something like that. The weird thing is that we have a lot of preserves around where I live, but none of them are marked that way.
