How accurate is my sig?
 

I know that all geo databases have their quirks and anomalies but I am trying to get a feel for the number of incorrectly targetted cities on the db I use (maxmind). A friend of mine gets shown a city that's not even in his country but it seems the adultfriendfinder db targets him not too far from the city he's actually in, as does sexsearch.

I'd be interested to know what other geo dbs there are out there besides maxmind and ip2location.

Let me know if you've been targetted accurately, slightly off base, way off base or just plain not targetted at all.

Thanks ...

right on for me.

Missed me by 50 miles and 2 cities.

40kms / 2 suburbs off...

off by a couple miles but no one ever gets my city right :(

missed me by about two townships.

dead on...

Off by about 4 states and about 400 miles

one town over. i'm guessing there are two scripts out there because one is always one town over, and another is always two town's over

Same city as AFF, which is fairly accurate.

I dont get these damn GEo scripts lately. All of em give me a fucking Jacksonville location (FLA I assume) and im in Kentucky. Been awhile since I saw any hits for Kentucky. Used to see a few in Lexington or Louisville

hi bjjb, if your ISP is FL based that would explain it. The IPs would be registered to an FL org. For example, I'm in Scotland, but the db says I'm in London. If I change to a local ISP (Scottish based), it tags me correctly as being in Edinburgh.

AFF, use to say I was in New York, but now it says I'm in London, which is inline with all other geo databases. I'd like to know which db AFF and sexsearch use.

...

Interesting My ISP is Earthlink so I dont know where thyeyre based. lol

perfect for me. This is the FIRST Geoscript that is actually acurate. Good job!

one town over. I have yet to have one Geo nail it. :upsidedow

right on for me

Pretty damn close..25 mi

Way off. Most are spot on for me too.

is your friend using a proxy?

Same thing here.

2 towns over for me...I am in Tucker and it is saying Clarkston

Right on for me :thumbsup

ROXBORO ?!? Where the hell is that...

pretty close...

Haha, I have no clue where ROXBORO is. Like I said, a similar thing happened to a friend. He's in Joure, Netherlands but the database spits out Polle. Polle isn't even in The Netherlands although it does seem to be a place in Germany (unsure of this fact).

I'm hoping for at least a 60% "near" accuracy rate and it seems I'll be hovering around that mark. 80% would have been better but that's not going to be possible anytime soon; I'm sure it will eventually get there.

Thanks to all who left feedback, it is very appreciated.

Cheers ...

22 miles off

targetted accurately

I'm using a proxy but it got me right. You spell traffic with 2 f's though :)

exact... very rare for these.

It shows the same place that I've never heard about before as the others....
and my ISP is NOT located there either......I guess I could say it sucks :winkwink:

1. Not accurate.
2. Not rules compliant.

You'll never get me. I live in Shitsville, USA

works good here

accurate to a district of my city.

herdon?
never heard of it
but every other geosoftware around these parts gets me dead on

64km from here. never heard of the town!

Could you not have pointed this out when I was making the damn banner? ;)

...

About 30 miles to the south.

I guess you could say it sucks ..... but please don't 'coz you'd hurt my feelings! I'm in the process of getting in touch with my sensitive side and it takes very little to get me gushing tears!

Thanks for having a look though, much appreciated.

...

Right on spot.
