Map
Welcome to our free broadband data visualization tool, which helps you visualize all publicly available US broadband data. We have developed simple data visualization sliders you can use to better understand levels of broadband availability and adoption in your community. County, municipal, and local governments can use our tool when developing digital equity plans and network operators can use it to inform investments.
Broadband data demonstrates that broadband availability and adoptions gaps must be addressed with equal vigor if we are going to close the digital divide. The data also shows that these gaps disproportionality impact lower-income communities. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to anyone at Vernonburg Group.

How to use our map
To move around the map hold down the left mouse button and drag your mouse or swipe your finger across a touch screen.

To change the tilt of the map, hold down the right mouse button and drag the mouse up or down or place two fingers on a touch screen and swipe up or down.
You can also find a specific location by entering the name of a place in the search box in the top right of the screen. Summary information on broadband availability and adoption about any county can be found by left clicking on the map or tapping on a touch screen (to remove the summary information box left click or tap the close button).
Layers can be turned on and off and slider thresholds for different indicators can be set using the layers dialog box in the top left of the screen. Scroll down in the layers dialog box to expose more layers.
The map can also be put in full screen mode using the full screen icon next to the search box and the layers dialog box can be hidden by left clicking or tapping the left chevron at the top right of the layers dialog box.
