Has anyone published "safe" geo-location defaults? By safe I mean default lat/lon coordinates for a country, state/province, city, postal code which do not resolve near a residence.
It seems like too many people use "Find My <device>" or other geo-location services, and then go to the exact location shown on the mapping service for the default lat/lon which is often a default location. Knock on the person which happens to live near the default centroid, and acuse them of stealing their <device> because "Find My <device>" showed that location.
Yes... point your default coordinates to a safe location, please! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/08/10/lawsuit-how-a-... https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/08/kansas-couple-sues-ip-mapping-fi... Lukas
