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. Learn more about the geolocation area data we provide, how it differs from a geolocation point, and how to use a geolocation area in your applications on our blog.
