MaxMind Blog Safer IP geolocation with MaxMind

People who understand the inherent limitation on precision for IP geolocation know that you should never geolocate an IP address to a point on a map. That’s why, at MaxMind, all of our products with geolocation data return a geolocation area. Rather than a point on a map, our products contain a circle that can be drawn onto a map using a center defined by latitude and longitude, along with an accuracy radius.
