On google maps it's just on the lot of the garage, but not inside/on the building itself. The aerial view shows it on the edge of the roof at first, but if you zoom all the way in, you can see it was just the slightly skewed perspective of the building, and the hash is essentially on the edge of the walkway below.

...Hash and Learn, right? I was using Hashdroid in its satellite view and it will not zoom in that far- still looks like it's on the edge of the building at max zoom. Hindsight #1: The map view looks more accurate. Hindsight #2: On a "real" computer the change in the sattelite view is pretty obvious, and then the correct location is visible.

On google maps it's just on the lot of the garage, but not inside/on the building itself. The aerial view shows it on the edge of the roof at first, but if you zoom all the way in, you can see it was just the slightly skewed perspective of the building, and the hash is essentially on the edge of the walkway below.
