Geolocation of Google Compute Engine Servers?

geolocation, google-compute-engine

Solution

Based on ping times and traceroutes, I've made some educated guesses:

- US Central 1: Oklahoma

- Europe West 1: Ireland

- Asia East 1: Changhua County, Taiwan

Problem

When creating a new instance, GCE cloud allows choosing among three regions: West Europe, Central US and Asia. I'd like to know exactly where the instance is allocated, e.g., know the precise coordinates. GeoLocation databases point all GCE-allocated IP addresses to Mountain View, CA (Google HQ). Is there a way to find out the correct exact location?
