GetLocationInfo sometimes returns locationname of "world"   

GetLocationInfo takes a lat/long and looks up a location.     Sometime it 
will return "World" with a locationtype of "Planet" in certain parts of the 
world.    Is this the default and expected behaviour when it finds a location 
it cannot reverse geo locate?

Yes, this is default behaviour. It tries to reversegeocode up to 
continent/world. You can set the options IncludeAll Entitytypes to false. If 
no address is found it will return null results.
