Hi,

It gets the city wrong in the case of Antwerp, Belgium. Updated results on the site. Wonder if this is an isolated problem only with me, cos I was accessing through my Uni. But, if it happens even outside then it is off by about 50+ km!

Have updated the meta page with the results.

Regards,
Prashanth
