I find that error hilarious, because I setup correct in-addr.arpa and ip6.arpa reverse DNS entries for my (static) IP, which returns a domain name that has an accurate LOC record. My IP is two DNS queries away from my location (~10m precision), yet most of the time everyone uses these geoip databases instead of LOC.

- lotharbot 11y agoI found it shockingly accurate -- it gave the address of a house I can see out my window. I'm on an entirely wired connection, so I know it's not doing it via any sort of wi-fi location, but perhaps my ISP lays out IPs very predictably or something.
