An IP Geolocation is the method of finding out the geographical location of a user using an IP address geolocation informations from mainly GPS tracker (Global Positioning System Tracking), A-GPS tracker (Assistive GPS Tracking), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and radio-frequency identification (RFID).

Almost all modern browser support W3C & HTML5 geolocation technology and it is very accurate way of finding geolocation of IP address especially for users behind WiFi and mobile devices.

But visitors behind desktop computers are also with success traceable.

So if our IP Lookup tool based on IP database and our Whois Lookup tool are a less accurate in showing you location for your own IP address then you will be surprised how accurate is this Geolocation tool. Very often you will get exact physical location of your device and yourself at that moment.

With this IP Address Geolocation tool we are going one step further because we have integrated Reverse Geocoding and you will be able to see your physical address along with informations about latitude, longitued, accuracy, altitude and speed. Real Geolocation tracking in real time using reverse geocoding.

Before using this tool you need to approve it and give IP-Tracker.org permission to track your current location.

Our desktop computers (which do not use WiFI connection) are also tracked very close to our physical address in that moment. The accuracy is within 1000 - 2000 meters.
