HostlP is a community effort to build a non-commercial database of geolocated IP
addresses. It uses two sources of information to generate its geolocation tool:
people identifying their city as associated with an IP address and automatic
traceroutes.
HuntlP

HuntlP is a set of tools designed to help sysadmins do a number of things , including
plot multiple IP addresses on a map. Keep in mind the caveat from the site's creator:
"This site should be used as a tool for investigative purposes only. The information
provided here may not be correct and should not be trusted." To perform IP
geolocation, HuntlP uses the free GeoLite data provided by Maxmind, which also
sells more accurate IP geolocation data at its website. Because Maxmind 's free site
limits queries to 25 per day per incoming IP address, I expect HuntlP operates under
the same restrictions. HuntlP uses a Google Map mashup to plot IP address
locations. Here I have plotted three IP addresses on the Google Map image just to
give you an idea of the results you might get. In each case , the IP addresses were
located in the appropriate country and very close to the actual physical location
within the country . If the locations had been in countries for which the Google Maps
provides greater resolution , that would have been even better.
