What Data Do We See? Understanding the Interactive Map
Our Interactive IP Map presents comprehensive geolocation data to help you understand IP address locations. Here's an explanation of the map elements and data sources:
Map Features and Controls
- Multi-IP Visualization: Plot and compare up to 5 different IP addresses simultaneously with distinct colored markers.
- Layer Controls: Switch between Street Map, Satellite, and Terrain views to see different map perspectives.
- Accuracy Circles: Toggleable 5km radius circles showing the approximate nature of IP geolocation (IP locations are rarely exact).
- Interactive Elements: Click markers to see details, hover over table rows to highlight corresponding map markers.
- Fullscreen Mode: Expand the map for detailed examination using the fullscreen toggle.
Data Sources and Accuracy
The data displayed is gathered from multiple reliable sources, but has inherent limitations:
- IP Databases: Geographic data comes from commercial and public IP geolocation databases that are regularly updated.
- ISP Information: Internet Service Provider details come from WHOIS records and BGP routing tables.
- Map Tiles: Base map imagery is provided by OpenStreetMap, Esri, and OpenTopoMap, with varying update frequencies.
Accuracy Considerations
When interpreting the map data, keep these limitations in mind:
- Geographic Precision: IP geolocation is typically accurate to the city level at best, not to specific addresses.
- ISP Network Centers: IPs often show the location of an ISP's network hub rather than the end user's physical location.
- Mobile IPs: Mobile device IPs typically show the location of cellular network infrastructure, not the device location.
- VPNs and Proxies: IPs from VPNs or proxy services will show the server location, not the user's actual location.
- Varying Accuracy: Accuracy varies by region, with better precision in densely populated areas and developed countries.
Privacy and Ethical Use
Our interactive map tool processes IP addresses you submit for visualization purposes only. We do not:
- Store your submitted IP addresses or query results after your session
- Track your usage of the map beyond standard analytics
- Share submitted IP data with third parties
Please use this tool responsibly and ethically. Do not use for stalking, harassment, or any illegal activities.
