currently i've been using http://www.geoiptool.com/ can't local time. don't know local time.
can me out, display location + local time? have mail app , try display ip in location + local time.
well, not real answer question can understand how inaccurate method is.
please, read answer side note.
yes, it's ok offer or set location/time users. should provide country/time selector them also. of ip's can not resolved (anonymous proxy, borrowed ips other countries (my case), continental ips (like group "europe", "asia", etc), etc.
my case shows how approach may wrong.
when i've tried iplocator geobytes.com i've got this:
my ip address has been resolved to:
- location: romania
- time offset: +0200 (at moment dst active it's
+0300
)
real problem location is not romania
, , time offset +0100/+0200
.
look picture:
red arrow shows real location. info in black box shows correct values real location. well, wrong location not such big problem users, wrong local time annoying thing.
yes, know, that's not you're looking for. should not fix users location and/or local time because can wrong approach. ipv4 address not accurate real info user.
also, found iplocator doesn't follow dst rules , using time offset (image #1) show wrong local time during summer (for countries/regions/provinces consider dst).
