If GeoIP insists on giving a specific lon/lat, instead of an uncertaintity how about using locations such as the followign as the "default I don't know where it is" United States: 38.8899 N, 77.0091 W (U.S. Capital Building) Missouri: 38.5792 N, 92.1729 W (Missouri State Capital Building) After the legislators get tired of the police raiding the capital buildings, they will probably do something to fix it.
Massachusetts: 42.376702 N, 71.239076 W (MaxMind Corporate HQ) Maybe after seeing what it's like to be on the receiving end of their own inaccuracy they will be a bit more motivated to fix it. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell () ufp org PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
