MaxMind

MaxMind is a Massachusetts-based digital mapping company that provides location data for IP addresses in the United States.

In an unusual technical glitch, a farmstead about 4 miles northeast of Potwin, Kansas became the default site of 600 million IP addresses (due to their lack of fine granularity) when the digital mapping company changed the putative geographic center of the contiguous United States from 39.8333333,-98.585522 to 38.0000,-97.0000 leading to law enforcement agents and others visiting the farmstead at all hours of the day and night. A lawsuit against the company by the residents of the farmstead ensued.
