   It's a lab accident. Beakers hair is on fire now.

   If the database does not sanitize inputs, a thing like that could happen.   
   (Storing data as strings, not as numbers.)   
      
   If multiple BSSID reports with slightly varying GPS coords come in,   
   some sort of math could average the coordinates or so.   
      
   It's just as likely to be a not-representable-number problem, but   
   you would need to find a better "calc" to work on that aspect.   
      
   It really amounts to some sort of sloppy workmanship.
