      The default geospatial index is -180,180...with the upper bound being exclusive.

      However, there are a number of locations in the world which seem to reside at 180° 0′ 0″, like:
      http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Glomar_Challenger_Basin&params=77_45_S_180_0_E_

      I've seen two popular geo-ip databases fail to easily import into mongodb because of this.
