    When I link to a map on Geo Visitors showing the IP's of people who have looked at my Website, how accurately does this give the location of the IP's?

    If you use one of the big ISPs what you see may or may not be accurate. Some of them have IPs registered to their main corporate office not remote localities.

    It's pretty accurate to within the city... I would guess 99.9% accurate to the city.

    What if you see an IP symbol in apparently a rural area?
