Same thing with me, as the first two options outputted the same city
and coordinates.  Given that fact, I chose the first option.  Google
outputted some town that is about 15 miles away, whereas the other two
pointed to a town 11 miles away.

I will try the test from work tomorrow as well.  It should be
interesting since that is satellite-based internet.  It's always fun
to see location-based ads that think I am located in some completely
different state.  :)

And yes, for the record, I do want my Haiku air-dropped to my house!  ;)
