Under "Visitor locations right now," 1% are coming from Graceville. As far as I can tell, that's either a town of 4k in Australia, 2k in Florida, or there are two Gracevilles in Minnesota with a few hundred people. Any idea what's up?

- TonyTrapp 5y agoIt might be a default set of coordinates used for geolocation of some IPs used in a larger region (or even state). This sort of thing has in fact caused trouble in the past at least once: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/09/maxmind-mapping-lawsuit-kansas-farm-ip-address https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/aug/09/maxmind-m... > IP mapping isn’t an exact science and so MaxMind assigns a default address when it can’t identify its true location. That address just happened to be the Arnolds’ property, a remote farm that is located slap-bang in the middle of America. > More than 600 million IP addresses are associated with their farm and more than 5,000 companies are drawing information from MaxMind’s database.
