Im working on a small project with a friend and we are trying to use a mix between Google maps API and the users IP address to display a map close to their location.

What im using now is just a function in PHP to pull the client IP, but its about 50 miles off at best and doesnt work very. Instead, im thinking of going with something like maxmind.com GeoIP database to pull the latitude and longitude for google maps api.

Anyone have luck with his kinda stuff?
