Yes, it mines google latitude data for that. Since I left my office job and started running my own business from home. Latitude has been getting very confused about where I work. Last time I checked it thought I worked at the local shopping centre.

For those that rent and want to be able to take their panels with them, it's a winner of a product idea.
