[NL5]

First one had me in NJ, the second one had it right - I am in WA state.

 

[bucwylde23]

1st one was wrong, pinpointed me in
(US) UNITED STATES,
WEST VIRGINIA,
FALLING WATERS

which is WRONG.

Second one got it dead on: Luray, VA

 

[Saint Nick]

Second one was more accurate... very close to the specified coordinate.

 

[bobsmith1492]

They both had me dead on (at a university).

 

[Excelsior]

1 and 2 were borth sort of correct. I am not in Charlotte city limits or Indian Trail town limits, but Indian trail is much closer. The 2nd link said Indian Trail.

 

[BoomerD]

the first one got close...Stockton, Ca, which is about 25 miles away. Maxmind hit it on the head.

 

[Kalvin00]

first was waaaaaaaaaaaay off

second one was spot on

 

[zylander]

Im in San Francisco,

First one was right, second one had me down in San Mateo

 

[Howard]

Both right, but the first one only got my country. Second one got my city.

 

[erub]

Both had right city, and provider
Using google for the LAT/LONG
One was 2 miles off
The other was 4.3 miles

Oh, and I tried from campus, and they both guessed that correctly (it'd be major issues if they missed Georgia Tech though)

 

[jds2006]

1st wrong
2nd right

 

[Ricemarine]

Both were right in my case...

 

[Vette73]

1 said I was in NEW JERSEY
2 said I was in Massachusetts BOSTON


And where is Marlin.... Cary, North Carolina.

 

[S Freud]

1st wrong said I was in Seattle, WA
2nd was closer Said I was in Albany, OR

Freud is in Corvallis, OR (about 15 miles from Albany)

 

[Journer]

neither gave anything close to accurate

 

[fliguy84]

First one got me in Kentucky

The second one works fine. Even knows which city I'm in

 

[brtspears2]

Both perfect. But then my DNS resolution of my IP gives away the city.

 

[MotionMan]

#1: "Los Angeles" (basically correct, but not all that helpful)
#2: "Pico Rivera" (I little too far East)

[grrl]

Maxmind, the first one is about 250 miles off.

EDIT, I see the post count for the OP is 999. One away from Golden Member! Or whatever comes next.

 

[bloodugly]

Both were correct

 

[Scouzer]

About 400 miles off. Same answer for both.

 

[Dissipate]

Both were WAY off. Both said I live in Virginia, when in fact I live in CA.

 

[herkulease]

both were off. got the state right.

1st one said vacaville,

2nd one said hayward.

hayward is a bit closer but still about 20 to 30 minutes drive away.

 

[hzl eyed grl]

Both gave the same city and both were fairly correct.

 

[Stumps]

the 2nd one was the closest but it got the city wrong, but had the right area code and state
