    I wouldn't trust mapblast.com too much. If I compare my real, "meter-exact"
    coordinates with where maplast seems to think where that is in my hometown,
    I get a difference of almost a kilometer or so. Vice versa, if I set the
    crossmark on their map to where I really am living, the coordinates in the
    http-request et al aren't even close, by the same error.
