I wanted to double check my understanding of how the location of nodes is determined.\n\nTheoretically this person could have set the lat/long hard coded in the settings and could be shown anywhere. I am assuming that is what happened here as that sort of distance seems crazy to me. They did have 7 hops to get to me but even then I am dubious.\n\nThinking about this more I am guessing MQTT could be at play as well and I need to do some more reading there.",
