Powercode does not have a real coverage map. They do generate the deployment 
.csv file, based upon the assumption of reporting any block in which you have a 
customer as being deployed. That approach will definitely generate incomplete 
results, but I'm seeing a way way worse problem. Powercode was giving us 22 
blocks reported on the deployment CSV, when I did it by hand in GIS software, I 
have 841 blocks. Something seems to be very broken. I just finished the 
analysis right now, I will be emailing them shortly. 


If you guys are blindly dumping your Powercode deployment CSV into 477, you 
really should check the data yourself somehow. I have talked to one other 
powercode user who was seeing this problem. He actually had a mapping 
background and helped me do the analysis in MapInfo.

Does PowerCode have any way to calculate the deployment file?

*shrug* 
When I do the export from powercode it dumps two .csv files. DeploymentData.csv 
and SubscriptionData.csv. Both of which I just load in to the fcc 477 site.

Does Powercode do deployment or only subscriber?

Working on our 477, mapped the deployment data from powercode in our GIS 
software, we found it was grossly inaccurate, probably only has 10% of the 
blocks in the file compared to ones where we have customers. Has anyone else 
noticed this? 


We were previously not mapping the output and just blindly submitting it.... 
bad idea... we were grossly under reporting our coverage.
