Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for coverage determination and download opportunity notification. A method for content coverage determination and download opportunity includes obtaining, by a content coverage application running on a mobile device, an itinerary from a map application on the mobile device. The content coverage application sends the itinerary and mobile device characteristics to a coverage determination system and receives a wireless coverage profile based on the itinerary and the mobile device characteristics. The content coverage application generates a list of entertainment applications running on the mobile device. The content coverage application provides a notification of a wireless coverage gap based on the wireless coverage profile and displays the list of entertainment applications and status for each listed entertainment application in response to user input. The content coverage application sends instructions to one or more of the listed entertainment applications to download content in response to user selections.
