The whois information on the HE IPv6 address, does give the location.
At least, it does on mine.

It lists the location of the user's registration -- which could very well be a lie as they do nothing at all to verify it. AND that has zero correlation with where the tunnel actually goes. There in is the problem... your tunnel isn't nailed to a physical line ["T1"], or a physical device ["cablemodem"]; it's loosely pinned to an IPv4 address. An address that can change in an instance. An address that can literally be any where.
