Think of it as an attendance filter. If you're too lazy to expand the
building acronym, floor and room number, and give a street address,
city, state and postal code, and a contact phone number, why should I
exert the energy to show up for your meeting? A map would be nice, and
for the GPS fans, a latitude and longitude would also be nice. A
suitable parking lot and driving directions from a major intersection
might also be appropriate. Feel free to use tools like Google Maps and
Expedia.

I would wonder if the speaker put as much effort into the presentation
as the advertiser did into the location information.

Get a clue.
