Using a smart phone on the wifi at that office (obviously, the WIFI 
network has to be providing IPv6, or bridged to a network providing IPv6), 
go to google.com in a web browser (not the google app), and click near the 
bottom of the page "Use precise location".  AFAIK, that provides to GOOG 
your GPS coordinates.  It still might take a week for them to update 
everything.
