Anyone familar with Google maps & IP targeting?
 

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?

It's fairly straightfoward, there's heaps of code online for it.
Hit up google.

Ive looked through a ton of stuff, but what I'm using now isnt really all that good at all. I don't mind paying for it, but want to see anyones feedback using any kind of GeoIP app
