declaimed the following:
Oh, and just for laughs, I tried a few of my recent mobile IP
addresses in the GeoIP lookup. All of them quoted Melbourne someplace,
some in the CBD and some out in the suburbs, but all vastly wrong, and
places I haven't been. But I'd never expect it to be accurate on
those.
Well... the MaxMind demo of "my IP" did get the proper
metropolitan
area... But they list the ISP as "AT&T"... My real ISP is Earthlink
(piggybacking on AT&T DSL service).
The Lat/Long, however shows as
42.9634 -85.6681
whereas a recent GPS readout shows
42.9159 -85.5541
or 2m50s too far north, and 6m50s too far west.
Same website, accessed from my Blackberry phone, gave a result of
"United States, NA" and location 38 -97
I have read all your answer very carefully but i still need some way of
getting it done.
All my Greek website visitors say they are from Europe/Athens which is the
ISP's location and not user's homeland.
Well it worked for me but as many other told me it wasn't accurate for them
too.
Please try this: http://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip_demo
and tell me if maxmind's database can pippont you city's location.
Nikos, you keep asking for a way to do the impossible. We keep telling
you that it is impossible. No alternative technique will do what
cannot be done!
I just tried that on my two IPs and it was quite wrong on both of them
- further wrong than some of the others have been.
Stop expecting magic.

But it works for me, How can it be impossible and worked for me at the
same time?
Also i tried some other website that asked me to allow it to run a
javascript on my browser and it pinpointed even my street!
If it wasnt possbile then MaxMind would be seeling its GeoIP2 app for
1380$ per year.
