Yeah, good luck to him finding "X5, Cardiff".

There isn't an "X5" postcode here, nor is it anywhere near where I was last time I did a location based update. The inaccurate google map thing is what made me lul.

Yeap, they should limit themselves to a higher zoom level. I'm guessing they used geoip, and it barely close.
