When Maxmind doesn't know the city for an IP, city remains blank #71

In our limited testing, I have so far come across two instances where apparently Maxmind didn't have a city registered for a server IP address, and hence the "City" field is left blank in the Locate registration. This in itself isn't a huge problem, necessarily, but it does appear to cause a UI issue with IST where the server location is blank:

The above image was shared with us by peer.net.in, one of our latest pilots.

When Maxmind doesn't know the city, there should probably be some sort of fallback, like IATA, or at least the most granular bit of geo data that Maxmind did have.

@robertodauria: I'm flagging you on this issue as a reminder for us to go over this together when we're both back to work.
