Fixing Google geolocation screwups

A friend of mine lives in Alabama and has business service from at&t.
But Google thinks he's in France. We've checked for various
possibilities of VPNs and proxies and such, and it's pretty clear that
the Goog's geolocation for addresses around 99.106.185.0/24 is screwed
up. Bing and other services correctly find him in Alabama.
Poking around I see lots of advice about how to use Google's
geolocation data, but nothing on how to update it. Anyone
know the secret? TIA
