Description
Google Maps things we're in San Antonio -- specifically, 29.4230958,-98.4848327,16z.
I seem to recall this location is something that we can advertise that various location services can pick up? If so, we should make sure that's accurate.

Johnathan,
Sadly, this is a problem we fight every time the IETF meets. We have some plans to do better in Prague, but it's not exactly a solved problem.
I'll close out this ticket, but rest assured we're not satisfied with the current state of things, and will continue working on it.

Yup.
We have published this at: noc.ietf.org/geo/google.csv
Unfortunately:
A: this only works for some geo providers (I think Google and Akamai) and
B: the APs themselves were in San Antonio recently. Some geo-location stuff is done via IP, and some is done via AP MAC -- unfortunately there is no (easy) way to update the AP based stuff...
On the plus side, the geo-services will probably figure out that we are in Dallas by ~Friday... just in time for us to shut down. So, in Prague it will think that we are in Dallas :-)
