For additional information about planned Globalstar service coverage, see the Coverage section below. The areas covered by Globalstar service do not represent service availability for Globalstar USA customers. All service coverage outside Globalstar USA's current coverage area, as shown on the map above, are subject to Globalstar USA implementing roaming service with Globalstar Service Providers.

Because an area is shaded does not necessarily mean that there is complete satellite coverage. Maps illustrate expected Globalstar coverage. Globalstar service is a satellite radio technology subject to transmission limitations caused by service area limits, customer equipment use, topographic and other variable conditions. These maps are not drawn to scale. This map is subject to frequent update, and is current as of 03/14/2001. This map supercedes any previous versions.
