I question the geo location data. Every thing i used to get my location with my ip addresse put my location at least ~75km off my real location. Does this software use more?
- daeken 14y agoEven if it's 100km off from Tehran, it's still quite far off from the UK, where it was originally stolen.

- buro9 14y agoIf it's that wildly off then they're probably just using the IP address to do a WHOIS and basing the location on the details reported by the ISP, which tends to be wherever the largest office of the ISP is located.
- dnu 14y agoI guess that it depends on the ISP (for general area location) or the Wi-Fi SSID and MAC (for exact location). I just ran an HTML5 geolocation demo http://html5demos.com/geo http://html5demos.com/geo from my wi-fi connected laptop, and the location is less than a couple of meters off. It even shows the correct corner of the building, where my apartment is.
