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! ;)
