polnts."!" If you want to see the original site where Geobytes began collecting its
data, visit NetWorldMap.
NetWorldMap
http://www.networldmap.com/Trylt.htm
NetWorldMap lets users enter IP addresses, then returns information about where
that server is located at the city level. It does this by gathering vast amounts of data
from volunteers who, for several years, have been entering information about the
physical locations of their addresses. Of course, this opens NetWorldMap up to
abuse, but the information provided by volunteers is crosschecked for accuracy. The
site now claims that "currently it can only locate about 97.8% of the Internet's
address space," which is a vast improvement over its earlier claims. While
Networldmap is far from the perfect way to geolocate addresses, it is a valuable tool.
GeoTool
http://www.rleeden.no-ip.com/geotool.php
This site also uses the same free Maxmind city database and Google maps to locate
and show one IP address at a time. GeoTool adds information about the IP address.
Note the GeoTool Spy option: this will show who is using the tool at the moment
(including you).
