Interesting. Plugged in the static IP to our home server and it was not exact, but it was within about a mile or two. When I backspace and re-type the last number in my IP, the location star jumps around seemingly randomly, but it always stays within the general area that has our house roughly in the center. Pretty impressive.
It found it’s way to Sweden, but still 400 kilometres from my real location.

Apparently I’m 40 or so miles west of here in a corn field. Dang! That’s going to add to the morning commute.

The IP for the office was within the same few miles away, say a five minute drive. The IP for my house (thankfully?) was in South county and I am in North county, about 20-30 minutes drive.
Am I the only one that doesn’t see mile markers on this map? I had to guess based on the identifiable landmarks I could see. Also, what does your IP location have to do with SEO? :P Thanks for this cool find!

Likewise, mine hit a location about 2 miles to the West. It might be a Comcast facility.
It coughed up the complete opposite side of town for me.

To all previous posters, this will no geolocate your computer, this will geolocate your internet provider!!!
It marked my IP two states away from where I am…..
