Is this GEOTARGET correct ?
 
http://gfy.webspacemania.com/xxx/

If it doesnt display the correct city for you , what does it say ?

Please tell me how close it is to other geo targets you have seen

Jakke PNG 05-18-2006 11:48 PM

It's correct. But so are all the others I've seen, must be because I live in the capital.

This is displaying a suburb for me, not a city. This seems to be a recurring problem for APNIC sourced data. Is it the maxmind db?

SomeCreep 05-19-2006 12:12 AM

Correct.

This one says I'm in Geneva... presumably the one in Switzerland. I guess that's the default answer for "no f*cking clue" :winkwink:

I am actually in Australia. It's not the first time I've seen a geoIP system say I'm in Geneva.

paymeback 05-19-2006 12:14 AM

First one never heard of that place mabye its a surburb, fuzebox's city is right on

Tempest 05-19-2006 12:21 AM

Probably as close as it's going to get for me.. I haven't seen any better but I've seen a lot worse..

SmokeyTheBear 05-19-2006 12:21 AM

yah its maxmind db

That is kind of funny. Sometimes AFF ads put me in California or Florida when I am nowhere near...

How many ISPs are in the same suburb as their customer? :)

woj 05-19-2006 12:26 AM

not even close for me :(

OY 05-19-2006 12:28 AM

Says LA for me, however, LA is big. I would like it closer personally...

quantum-x 05-19-2006 12:29 AM

I have never seen one GeoIP hit my city or suburb.
My ISP presumably does weird things w/ its IP blocks

How far off is it? According to most geoIP I'm in Richlands QLD, but I'm actually in Melbourne Vic. :winkwink: It is correct though as it's a legacy address for my IP block which I can't change.

Some sites say "Richlands 02" or "Richlands NSW" which is completely incorrect

FreakinWebmaster 05-19-2006 12:40 AM

Closest I have seen so far.... shows denver for me... usually I get Arvada, but I live in Westminster


Close enough

Doctor Dre 05-19-2006 04:06 AM

I'm currently in Sherbrooke and it says Ottawa (500km away). But normally from my handle I post from Ottawa so I don't know if it has anything to do with that.

Nightraven 05-19-2006 04:07 AM

It says "Fl~rng" and I have absolutely no idea where or what that is.

I live in Aarhus the second biggest city in Denmark but it suggests a little city right outside of Aarhus.
Tranbjerg.

tradermcduck 05-19-2006 04:58 AM
