I spoke with the owner of the site and he was able to confirm that the 
Google Geocoder was used for the sole purpose of converting the lat/long 
data into a "human readable" format Location String in the format 
<city>,<region>,<country> (for display on the site).

It was not used to gather specific locations for airports or other 
information.

Since I'm not storing these details in the node metadata, would there 
still be an issue?
