IP Geolocation Accuracy Test
Compare what multiple geolocation databases report for your IP address. See if they agree — and optionally compare with your real browser location.

📍 Compare with Browser Location
This will request your browser's GPS/location. We only use it for this comparison — no data is stored or sent to any server.
Why They Differ
VPN Usage
If you're using a VPN, your IP location will show the VPN server's location — not yours. This is by design.
Mobile Networks
Cell towers may route traffic through distant cities. Your IP location might show a different city or even state.
Database Inaccuracy
Geolocation databases aren't always up to date. ISPs reassign IP ranges, and databases take time to catch up.
How This Test Works
This page queries multiple independent IP-geolocation services and displays their country, city, network and coordinate estimates side by side. Agreement between providers does not prove the estimate is your physical location; it only shows that their datasets currently agree.
If you choose to grant browser location permission, the comparison is calculated in your browser so you can see the distance between an IP-based estimate and the device location returned by the browser. Browser geolocation permission is optional.
- IP geolocation is an estimate, not GPS.
- VPN and proxy users usually see the exit network's location.
- Mobile carriers may route traffic through gateways far from the device.
- Providers update IP-location datasets on different schedules, so results can disagree.
Privacy note: precise browser location is requested only after you choose to run that comparison. Review your browser permission prompt before sharing precise location with any website.
