They are not similar, but identical, three at a time.
I don't know why in the backend there are 9 coordinates:
in general IdP properties in CAT I see only 3 different locations 
(screenshot attached)

The IdP has also 3 profiles but I doubt about multiplication for each 
profile since profiles do not have chance to modify location per-profile.

Seems a bug in CAT

The 3 point are 33,68  64 and 74 kilometers away each other.

I tested with device in location 
"lon":"13.793069999999943","lat":"45.6583833" and I still see 2 or 3 
same-matching institution.

I can remove all and recreate.... don't know if this cleans triple 
coords that may have been cloned by CAT sometime in the past.

This depends on what we (CAT wide) mean for location:

Same institution in different buildings and same city? Yes, maybe a 
programmatically cleanup app-side is welcome.

Same institution in different state or spread around the world? Maybe 
this removal isn't needed.
