Why is IP geolocation not exact? Why does an ip tracker or ip lookup website show a place a bit distant from my street?
In: Technology
* There is nothing inherent about your IP address that maps it to a specific address.
* You ISP assigns you an IP address.
* If it’s a small local ISP, then it’s reasonable for the IP tracker websites to know the general location of where you are.
* But for large nationwide ISPs they could use an IP anywhere in the country.
