- there's no way to push updates / changes back to them
- their DB id's change *when* they make updates which when your saving the ID's into your member DB can cause a bunch of probs
Again would love to hear of some better alternatives to MaxMind ... and if their not out there sure sounds like a biz opportunity for someone  |
Its so true we had a similar problem with our UK dating and contacts site BritishSexContacts.com the geo location from maxmind started off well and the last few years it really has sucked !
The US and country wide location is fine its just outside of the US down to city level its just plain wrong not even close most of the time !
Would love to find a accurate alternative
