How important is a correct answer on the first try? I'm visiting a friend in Thousand Oaks, CA, but this site says I'm in Reston, VA. I suspect that it says most if not all Verizion customers, live in Reston, VA. These guys do a better job with my current ip, they think I'm in Oxnard, CA with my friends tell me is 15min or so by car, not a couple days by car. Demos are free, but if you want to check more than 25/day you need to pay. > On Mar 25, 5:53 pm, nickmilon <[email protected]> wrote: >> The best approach is to delegate the task to the client using >> javascript and a geolocation service provided my google maps API as >> Niklasrol above suggests, it is free for non-commercial use and the >> most acurate method. >> For an example you can take a look at my app >> http://www.geognos.com/geo/en/cc/us.html >> and select move map > my place from the drop box on top right for an >> explanation take a look at page source and javascript. >> >> If you have to do it in the server you can use an API like maxminds as >> Ulrich above is suggesting or you can build your own service on app >> engine. >> For an example of the later see >> http://milon.appspot.com/stravon/db/cc/83.212.217.149 >> and may be you read my remarks on this here in the following >> threadhttp://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/... >> >> Happy coding ;) >> >> On Mar 25, 7:00 pm, Ulrich <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >> > Benjamin wrote: >> > > Does anyone know a good way to get an approximate GPS coordinate >> > > (Latitude and Longitude) when you have a users IP Address? >> >> > > When my users post to a web service i'm pretty sure i know their IP. >> > > I'd like to get the Latitude and Longitude of the client based on that >> > > like GEO IP does but from my system running on app engine. >> >> > Something likehttp://www.maxmind.com/app/ip-locationcouldhelp you.
