Hello Dears,

 

I would like to suggest adding GPS coordinates to IPv6 header, as you know
the current way of determining the location of the IP address is through the
IP registration, which is not very accurate as it depends on how the ISP
registers it's IP subnets, which is normally done based on country/city.

 

Getting more accurate locations will enhance many services provided by the
web, like targeted commercials (for example, I can get Ads regarding
restaurants available in my neighborhood instead of all restaurants in the
city), another good example would be webpage's language, my language will be
detected more accurately based on my exact area rather than my countery, as
there are many countries with more than one popular language.

 

Maps, navigation, emergency calls and many other services will also get
enhanced with accurate locations.

 

I hope you will find my suggestion beneficial, and looking forward to
hearing from you.

 

 

Best,
