Abstract
Embodiments herein provide various apparatuses and techniques for providing a notification indicating guidance to reaching cellular connectivity in the event of a loss of cellular connectivity and for guiding a user of a user equipment to a location with cellular connectivity. In an embodiment, the notification may be generated based on expiration of a timer, a screen unlock operation, or an application connection failure. The notification may indicate how long ago the cellular connectivity loss occurred and how far away a nearest location with a cellular connectivity was. In an embodiment, the user equipment may display a map interface based on user input selecting the notification. The map interface may show a map of the current location of the user equipment, a nearest location with cellular connectivity to the user equipment, and a path, which includes a tracked path of user equipment and a proposed path to the nearest location with cellular connectivity.
