IP2Location

This is a very good tool, but unfortunately, users are limited to 20 free lookups per
day. However, the next two sites discussed below use this same data and the
searches do not appear to be cumulative, in one case, and do not appear to be
limited in the other. The results offer the country, city, region, flag, and associated
ISP. IP2Location gathers geolocation of IP data using its own proprietary means and
claims 95% accuracy, but I can't find any independent verification of this assertion.
The company is based in Malaysia.

SEOmoz.org has a nice little tool based on MaxMind's Geolite Data that maps IP
addresses to Gooqle maps. While users must consider that the geolocations are not
entirely accurate, compare this tool with the GeoTool above for the same address,
and you will see that the SEOmoz application is much more detailed. The street
address information below is culled from the RIPE Whois database.
