While some servers seem to know where I am, enough servers are mistaken to provide me with a feeling that I am somewhat incognito. And even the most accurate geolocators have me in the wrong county.
Nobody really knows where you are. All they can do is look up the address of your ISP (the owner of your IP address); some provide more accuracy or detail than others. Point is, they only know where your ISP is.
geoip.co.uk read my IP address correctly, and provided a decent estimate of latitude and longitude in the U.S., but when I tried their whois lookup, it failed because I wasn't accepting their cookie.
justmyip.org also read my IP address correctly, and identified my ISP correctly, but for some reason it showed a map of some place in California.
ipchicken.com also read my IP address correctly, but provided no ISP or location info.
