    And XPenguin.com HAD a cool thing that would map the location of your IP using GD iamge libarary. For some reason it doesn't work anymore, but here is a link anyways.

    I'm in Edinburgh... so come to think of it, the longitude is probably bang-on perfect. I'm not sure if there's some hosting-related explanation, or perhaps our adsl provider is down there - I think we've got a router that broadcasts multiple IP numbers. To be frank though, I don't have a scooby about all that stuff.

    That would be pretty sweet. All you would have to worry about is the loading of images.

    And I have to make a correct: The IP-Atlas does NOT use the GD image library. Also the reason why it doesn't work any more is because NetGeo has stopped replying to 50% of the queries. Which could be the reason the why the script on Shiftback didn't give any info on me.

    but it isn't a huge country so that is about 700km distance...

    Now it says "Sorry, data not logged due to secure IP address!" What the hell does that mean?

    I just put that in so people would get the idea that their IP is not accessable to the tracking service... sorry.

    I live in Toronto and it was tracking where I lived a few days ago and now it is not.

    I have seen my IP tracked down to my city by other things like this.

    www.distrowatch.com

    Scroll down to the very bottom. There is a little image that says what city you live in. It's called GeoButton
