I really appreciate the information on your site, in particular the accuracy chart http://whatismyipaddress.com/geolocatio ... n-accuracy and article http://whatismyipaddress.com/geolocation-accuracy.
How current is the comparison in the accuracy chart? Has accuracy, especially in developing countries or those with restrictive regimes gotten any better?

Re: Geolocation accuracy
The chart at the bottom of that page is based on our users self-reporting of the accuracy within the last 90 days -- so, it's current.
Across the board IP address geolocation is becoming more accurate over time. Unfortunately I have not run any comparisons by country.

Thanks for your quick reply and confirming how current the data is. Much appreciated!
I would be very interested to see the accuracy information by country, if you have an opportunity to report that.

Re: Geolocation accuracy
I'd have to check the sample size, and would probably need to use a larger window in order to get there but, yes, it could be interesting. Let me see if I can get it somewhere on the to-do list.

Any luck taking a look at this?
