Hi,
It gets the city wrong in the case of Antwerp, Belgium. Updated results on the site. Wonder if this is an isolated problem only with me, cos I was accessing through my Uni. But, if it happens even outside then it is off by about 50+ km!
Have updated the meta page with the results.
Regards, Prashanth
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
