In my case, it's about 40 miles off.

FWIW, the app does appear to use your ISPs gateway as your location.
I discovered this while checking my DNS server ip address to make sure I hadn't been DNSChanger trojaned.
The map pointer was about a block off.

Mine shows downtown about four miles away. Please keep it. I want to see more hits in my area. Its better than the previous version.
As a "mapper" I think it's pretty cool but not necessarily useful. I can't realistically see myself checking it more than 1 or 2 times a year. I say keep it as a curiosity, so long as it doesn't hurt anything.

It's probably based on where the first ISP router hits the internet. Mine shows where the cable company main office is located...
Hey, who is that in Woodbridge, VA???
Yeah, but that old one was for all hits on tsptalk.com, and the link took you to another website to view it. It also became a little flaky.
This one is a forum "mod" only looking at those who are on the message board.
They were both written by the same person, but this one seems to work better.
I thought it was by IP, but based on the locations, it may be ISP's - not sure exactly.

Wasn't there something similar to this in the past? I believe the previous application let you click on yourself??
Does it look for the IP address your ISP assigns?
The green marker I think could be me shows up at a house about 2.5 miles away. As stated before, we do love our Cox here but are never sure what our Cox is up to.
I say keep it unless it starts posting like newsfeed.

Looks cool. I see a green dot over Tokyo - wonder if that's supposed to be me? I'm actually about a thousand miles south in the ocean between Japan and Taiwan, but maybe it only recognizes me generically as being in Japan. And what's with the unregistered guests viewing us from China?:suspicious::cheesy:

Yeah that's me sitting on the pool cover, but the server is located smack dab in the center of an Air Force Base, how can that be? You and I are the red ones I take it.Mine is actually showing me in the middle of a big farm field. I guess I better take my lawn chair and laptop somewhere else or my wife will find me.
nnuut, is that you in your pool? :laugh:

Is that a Russian spy?
No, it's the only way I can bypass the security and get to this site... I guess they think this is one of those subversive sites...

How much is your ISP charging you? It's probably a 17 y/o kid living with his parents.
That would be the government way. :nuts: I would think that my icon would be a little closer to where I work since we have 3 buildings full of servers and computers that talk back and forth with other Centers.
