The latest source code has a fix for this, using http://www.geoplugin.com/
Luckily it was quite easy to switch the code to use this provider instead.

Yes unfortunately http://api.hostip.info seems permanently dead.
There isn't a generic format for returning a location (well there is if any one
used GPX with a single waypoint!),
so everyone seems to invent their own XML and/or JSON (possibly with a
published schema) for the various metadata fields that get returned in API
request.
So one ends up writing specific code against specific websites [:(] (or even
more complicated code to convert various schemas into Viking's internal
representation).
It's quite possible I can change the code to use the service from
http://www.geoplugin.com/ instead.
It would helpful you could create a Viking Bug on Source Forge to remind me to
do this.

Subject: [Viking-devel] Location IP not working?
Hi,
getting the location at program start does not seem to be working. I'm
running the latest GIT sources:
** (viking:23172): WARNING **: curl_download_uri: http response: 404 for
uri http://api.hostip.info/get_json.php?position=true
Going to the URL gives a Error 404 Vhost unknown
Is there a generic format for returning the location, and are there
other services? If so, maybe this could become a setting? Else I guess
if this site has disappeared we just need another one.
Thanks
Nils
