Hi all,

I am looking for a way to determine the geographic
location based on IP address. I understand that 100%
accuracy is impossible. 

Does anyone know of a good software or service
provider that provides quality geographic detection to
US state level based on IP of website visitors. I have
tried several and find that they simply use whois
records. This is great but seems highly inaccurate.

Ideally I am looking for a utility that I can feed a
list of IP's to and then use this data to update mysql
records. 

These two services look pretty decent.

There is a Net_Geo PEAR class, which uses CAIDA data.

Re: [PHP] Geographic IP location

This is a great class, but NetGeo uses only whois
records, I think that the more accurate solutions also
use some sort of ip domain name analyisis to find city
location. 

Thanks,
