I need a few people to tell me if...

I put up a new website today at: http://www.startaphotographybusinesstoday.com but before accepting any members I need a few people to look it over and tell me if the Geo Locator is writing in your correct Town and State.

Every time I refresh the site in my browser the first paragraph has a different Australian Town and State showing and none of them are near me.

I'd appreciate it if a few SOW forum members could check it out for me.

Thanks,
Steve

The geo locator has me in Oakland California. I am in Sparks Nevada about 180 or so miles away. I think the go-go-gadget has missed the mark. Although when I refreshed it, the city did NOT change. Still had me in Oakland.

If that isn't what you are looking for, let me know and I will go back to the site and try again.

Hi Steve,

It got my location right (Melbourne).

Best wishes,

Dien

It worked for me, I'm in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and that's what it said.

I just checked one more time. Still has me in Oakland, CA. Maybe that's close enough but personally I wouldn't go to Oakland for a million bux.

Geolocation works on IP address. For most people - it takes their ISP's location into consideration. Not their own location.

This won't be an issue for bigger towns and cities. But it will be an issue for smaller regions of the world.

I think its a novel idea nonetheless - even if there could be some inaccuracy with geolocation. Would love to hear how it performs.

Ankesh,

Did it work for you? Like I said with me it is off by about 180 miles.

Yes it worked for me. But I live in a city with over 12 million people living in it.

Now here is a geolocator that narrows down even further to roads:

(Won't work in old browsers. May ask you for permission.)

That is off by about 16 km (10 miles) for me. Because it shows my ISP's physical location - not my own physical location.
