Great article. Thanks for sharing. The IP mapping company needed a way to deal with IPs that they only knew belonged to "the USA", so they picked coordinates near the geographic center. I liked their solution to people thinking it was an exact coordinate: update this "default" coordinate to be in a body of water(!).
