I had no idea this update was real and I am sure many businesses will love this from a location perspective.

I went, I signed up… and then I wondered…
Google likes to think of itself by what it does – engineering
rather than what it is judged by where it makes profit – it’s an advertising company…
so now I’ve told them where I live how much more am I worth to them?

Had no idea what the level meant… but it seemed accurate thanks for the update. The advantage of the tool from a Local Search pov though is the ease with which you can achieve precision and the confidence one can have in it.

14 levels of accuracy
You do realise at that precision a change of one digit, is a change of about the 10,000th the width of a human hair? ;-p

(even 6 decimal places is enough for about 15cm accuracy – across the whole of the United States)
