Usually they all have the right town, but this one says some other town which is like 150 Miles away.

xooz 05-19-2006 06:07 AM

Marshal 05-19-2006 06:15 AM

Mefo 05-19-2006 06:37 AM

Tom_PM 05-19-2006 06:41 AM

Works for me. All geoip type things work perfect for me it seems.

Antonio 05-19-2006 06:51 AM

incorrect, just like 99% of the others ;(

The Truth Hurts 05-19-2006 06:53 AM

it says "not detected prepare to be invaded"

The Sultan Of Smut 05-19-2006 06:54 AM

StephanieTD 05-19-2006 06:54 AM

Screaming 05-19-2006 11:09 AM

no where close.

candyflip 05-19-2006 11:10 AM

Says Rochester, and I'm in Rochester.

Roald 05-19-2006 11:11 AM

60kms off, AFF is better on the geo

Verbal 05-19-2006 11:13 AM

aff is big enough they can prob create their own much better database just with their signups :)

but yes i notice even my own city is a little off , aff gets closer

uno 05-19-2006 02:41 PM

It tells me a location in a different state 45 miles away.

vvq 05-19-2006 02:43 PM

Fuzebox's lookup worked better for me.
Yours showed Louisville, his showed Boulder.

chupachups 05-19-2006 02:50 PM

I always get some outinthebush adsl-station name... never heard of this place, and I have never been there.

nexcom28 05-19-2006 02:51 PM

It says not detected for me..

The Ghost 05-19-2006 02:56 PM

It is correct Smokey :)

Libertine 05-19-2006 03:05 PM

It says Leiden, I'm in Groningen. Different part of The Netherlands.

Zuss 05-19-2006 03:07 PM

100% correct

chase 05-19-2006 03:15 PM

Says Tampa for me, which is fairly accurate, as it's the nearest large city. I have seen geo ads say Land O Lakes, which is between me and Tampa (and, incidentally, it's where I lived when I moved from Tampa, and before I moved here). But I'm actually in Spring Hill, or Brooksville area.

The street sign said St Petersburg, which also isn't too far off, but Tampa's a tad bit closer.

Yngwie 05-19-2006 03:21 PM

it's way off for me.. I'm in sudbury and it said ottowa.

media 05-19-2006 03:22 PM

90 miles off....

Nazgrel 05-19-2006 03:58 PM

Lol. those never hit me. I live in a smal town way up north.

I get "Fornebu" the old national airport and now the HQ of my ISP. Its in the capitol, about 2 hours flight south of here.

The ip2location gets closer whit Trondheim, but its still over 1 hour flying south..

VicD 05-19-2006 04:08 PM

says Rotterdam, i live in Amsterdam...

Nookster 05-19-2006 04:17 PM

Says Salt Lake City...I'm in southern cali...lol

fuzebox 05-19-2006 05:09 PM

:1orglaugh you idiots, please stop saying how many miles away the city it displayed is. Physical distance has nothing to do with how the location is determined.

Pornopat 05-19-2006 05:17 PM

The city is correct. And that impresses me being on such a small island.
Often geo's tell me I am in the USA.

Miguel T 05-19-2006 05:20 PM

Yes it does.

O MARINA 05-19-2006 06:00 PM

Correct here....

very true , although i think i asked if it didnt get your city to tell me how far off it was ( although i was assuming most people reslise its their isp's lease adress on their ip not their actual location ) I was kind of more just hoping to get a general idea if its close to most other geo scripts or far off

You forgot to say EASY GOING
