Dorkmaster, it also looks like it is an exact match for a reverse-address-lookup of the Sears Tower, too. I went to Topozone.com, plugged in "Sears Tower", and it spit back a rounded-off version* of the coordinates from in-game. So there you go.

This is in Atlanta and is at the intersection of Peachtree St. and West Peachtree St. I'm going to check out which buildings/companies are there (office buildings are along the road).

45.7836, -108.5054: Intersection of 27th St and 2nd Ave N. It's the Wells Fargo building. Proper address is:

175 N 27th St
Billings, MT 59101

I went by at lunch and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, I didn't expect to find anything, either. August 24 may be a different story...

Well, I don't have a sepcific GPS type device to go exactly to these coordinates, but I live right near the road...

Latitude: 38.8425
Longitude: -77.2803:

It's in Fairfax VA, right after a shopping center... I can take a look at that area (I can get a good guess of where it's pointing based on distance to the surrounding roads, according to Mapquest) later today and post more on it tonight.

This maybe trout, but is it possible that if you change the -'s to +'s that it points to certain locations in China, and the locations correspond to the coordinates in the US somehow?

It's been talked about, but these coords are so EXACT, landing right on a street or intersection, that it seems unlikely to be anything other than just what they are.
