Interestingly, going to 0,0 in Google Maps shows an icon for Ace Lock Service Inc.

  Just noticed that too. What surprises me the most about this is that only ONE business/landmark is listed at 0,0 in the entire Google Maps.

    Perhaps they only allow 1 landmark per location? That would help solve the problem of having multiple entries per business in their database.

      But run into problems when two separate businesses are located on different floors in the same building. Not to mention you don't need many lat/long decimal places at all to get tens or hundreds of possible points in a medium-sized building.
