@kitten some of the event infra was from Karlsruhe, maybe they routed traffic through Karlsruhe at some point for some reason?

@kitten ohhh yeah that actually makes more sense. Probably the same APs that were used at GPN, and were saved in Google's database as being in Karlsruhe

@kitten yes this happens often, sometimes also causing timezone fuckery
its hardware that gets moved around often and accidentally ends up in Googles assisted location database

@floy @kitten yes! They normally locate to the previous event for the first few days until the database has catched up. Sadly enough not a lot we can do about this :/
