Detecting user's city

Recommended Posts

generally its down to your IP address and a huge database of IP's containing information about their location. It's not wildly accurate, as it only gives the city of your ISP (i.e, the people to whom the IP address has been allocated). I saw a site once that worked pretty well, and partially relied on users saying whether the location specified was correct or not, and if not offering an alternative. cant remember the link, though. But ultimately that relied on the same system
