I looked back at a probe that was listed wrong on the map (GB), but was under the correct country code/flag (US), I guess it is based on the network country entry in the IRR record.

Unless somebody from RIPE has the definitive answer?

Hi all,

It’s just a funny possible glitch of google maps.
if you move the location picker of a few millimeters, google returns a different country code (even if what changes is just the street).

See screenshots: 


Ciao,
Massimo

Sure, although this particular one is physically in St. Helier, I’ve emailed my contact to point it out, I’ll see what he says.

Hmm, I could have sworn that it was based on where you physically locate the probe. I've seen plenty of probes that are geo-located wrong when somebody moves to another country but fails to update the location of the probe.

I guess I'll point them to update it.
