The issue of irrelevant US maps appearing for UK-based sites continues ... Matt Cutts has blogged about it.

But here's another oddity - the same site with two different wrong locations - one in Italy and one in the USA.

And here it in Windsor, Maine, USA.

Air Control industries: Somerset, not Maine

Odder and odder.
