I would trust the map I pointed you to earlier more so than that other page. I have a high degree of confidence in the JUG data listed on the new map. At least, it is being actively maintained and any reported stale data is updated or removed from the new map over time. I don't believe that old location has been actively maintained recently. So, there may be lots of stale entries on it.
