    ADS Ground Station Locations?

    I seek a web site where I can find the location of ADS ground stations. The FAA site that has a map showing them does not work 80% of the time and if it does, it shows data that is almost one year old. Another forum reported that the FAA announced some new ground stations that came on line but I cannot locate any web site that gives current information.I am nearing a decision to purchase ADS equipment for my plane and want to know what I expect by way of coverage for ADS B FIS data.Thanks for any help.

    Is this the map you were looking at?

    lick "ADSB" on the left, and then "Radio Stations" at the top.

    Yes, Chris, that is the site and info I have been seeking, and now it has been updated to 2/2/2012. I see "new" ADS ground stations that were not there before. Also they now have the site actually working...it had not been functioning for some time....one minor oddity though; at the top it says they have 331 stations operating...that number never seems to change even though they have added "dots" showing newly operational stations.

    Thanks for re-directing me to a site that had not previously been working properly; its the new info I was looking for. Thanks for your assistance.

    Took 5 seconds of typing at the FAA search field.

    Still a gaping hole over nearly the entire state of Colorado (at least the interesting parts), western Wyoming, and eastern Nebraska.
