The actual data source will provide a country, state or sometimes even city and zipcode. Then whatever tool you&#x27;re using to map drops a pin in the middle of that region. If you zoom in, you get whatever happens to be at the geographic center of whatever the mapping tool (probably Google Maps) thinks is the center. eg if it says &quot;United States&quot; and no other data, you get some random ass place in the middle of Kansas. Sometimes there can be more specific data, but just because you can keep zooming in doesn&#x27;t mean that that&#x27;s actually where it is
