Database questions

    I live in Colorado Springs, CO and use Comcast as my ISP. The plug-in, until recently identified my location perfectly. It now, however, thinks I’m in Mount Laurel, NJ (I think that’s a Comcast datacenter location).

    Is there any better database that might handle this better? I’ve downloaded two databases (one from MaxMind); both are CSV files. I see your database has a .DAT extension.

    Would a better database correct this? Where do I download a .DAT database? Can I use a .CSV database?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, we’re at the mercy of Maxmind for accuracy. I can only suggest the PRO version of Maxmind – which is also a DAT file.

    Or, you could leverage a different approach and use a browser-based approach to getting user location. I don’t know of any plugins that use this approach, however.
