    Re: Protocol for questionable coordinates

    Here's another variation I personally experienced: planned to visit a theme park on vacation, read the WM, programmed the coordinates into the thingy, followed them through 3 states, to an empty parking lot in a commercial development...not a soul around (sunday). But, the street name matched the info on the listing...hmmm. Found the place (the old-fashioned way) about a mile away we and had a good time. Found out later the coordinates and the address matched, the CORPORATE OFFICES for the theme park parent company...somebody did a grab-any-website-address-convert-to-coordinates as the WM info. So, instead of my usual visit post, I related this misadventure and placed the "correct" address and coordinates in the text.
