An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

MaxMind is a Massachusetts-based digital mapping company that provides location data for IP addresses. MaxMind was founded in 2002 by Thomas "TJ" Mather and is based in Malden, Massachusetts. In an unusual technical glitch, a farmstead about 4 miles northeast of Potwin, Kansas, became the default site of 600 million IP addresses when the digital mapping company changed the putative geographic center of the contiguous United States from 39°50′00″N 98°35′08″W / 39.8333333°N 98.585522°W to 38°00′00″N 97°00′00″W / 38.0000°N 97.0000°W leading to law enforcement agents and others visiting the farmstead at all hours of the day and night. The owners of the property at those coordinates filed a lawsuit against MaxMind, which was settled via alternative dispute resolution in September 2017.
