Yes, coverage maps will not be available for about another week.

As you can imagine, the task of computing coverage maps for thousands of transmitters takes a lot of computation horsepower. Whenever we update the database, we also re-process all of the coverage maps to reflect the newest transmitter specs, but due to the amount of processing required, the maps don't become available until a couple of weeks after the database changes.

Any "live" signal analyses (i.e. radar plots and interactive maps) will use the new transmitter specs. Predicted signal strengths, interference indicators, channel numbers, distances, and all other modeled parameters will be derived from the new database. The coverage map overlays are the only parts that lag behind.

Please check back in about a week and you should be able to view the updated coverage maps.
