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.

Thanks for any input,
