Don't bother.  We have Google ISP Portal access.  We updated our 
geo-location feed file as they requested:
http://noc.ilan.net.il/GGC/iucc-geo-feed-for-google.csv
15 of 16 prefixes were processed on April 30.  Till today all our users 
in Israel are still located in Iceland and have now started to learn 
Icelandic in order to complete Google pages.
