[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1614368, member: 71075"] IP location is wildly inaccurate and can be easily spoofed and manipulated. Not only can I make myself appear from somewhere else but your ISP may be doing it unintentionally. For example, my old ISP bought lines from a major telco and allocated IPs through NAT (I think). Thus, my outward facing IP was coming from a place 450km away. The iPad however should have GPS. Do you have location services on? [/QUOTE]
