Technically, the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the center spot are 39★0′N 98☃5′W. If it knows only that an IP address is somewhere in the U.S., and can’t figure out anything more about where it is, it will point to the center of the country.Īs any geography nerd knows, the precise center of the United States is in northern Kansas, near the Nebraska border.

I also found out what they are doing from The new hacks are shown below.Īnd the best, from California, with the image located to the left, below Well after posting, I got three more hackassers but no comments. In fact, I will and post below what I find out. I would like to know how that is accomplished. The China one (see below) is using a river location. Still not sure why they do it? In fact, one of you attacking this website leave me a message on what good it does you? Anyways, new hackassers from Ohio, New York, and China.
