Hi list,
I think this was discussed recently, but Geowanking archives prior
to August can't be browsed! "The requested URL /pipermail/
geowanking/2006-July/subject.html was not found on this server."
What's the simplest way to get lat-lon value from IP addresses? A
friend of mine is using Geo::IP (http://search.cpan.org/~tjmather/
Geo-IP-1.27/lib/Geo/IP.pm), but he tells me it doesn't work quite
well. If it matters, most of his code is in perl.
I found http://www.hostip.info/ and http://www.geobytes.com/
IpLocator.htm with Google, but wanted advices before going deeper.
Thanks :-)

Last time I looked into geoip, the public data that Geo::IP used was
out of date (it even had a warning on the page that it wasn't being
updated anymore). So I tried playing around with MaxMind's services.
They do offer a free dataset, but it is not as accurate as their fee
based data.
I did some messing around with it just for kicks...
