Hello,
I tested it from Delhi and the result was good. However from Gwalior, it puts me in Madras/Chennai. Not good at all: not the same city, not the same state, and not even the same language.
Regards,

Hello all,
we're experimenting with geolocation tools. For the purpose of supporting the coordination of meetups and events, we want to add functionality that will make it easy to run banners in a particular region (e.g. a city and surrounding area).
To do so, we need to license a database that will allow us to look up a person's presumed location based on their IP address. Before we do so, we want to gather some reports from around the world about the quality of the information provided.
To help out, please visit: http://www.maxmind.com/app/mylocation
And then report your results at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MaxMindCityTesting
Thanks for any and all help,
Erik
