For this IP, maxminddb gives a city value of Santa Rosa, CA. This is off mark and its north of where I actually am, San Francisco. The zipcode produced, 95408, is also off mark and is about as far south of me as Santa Rosa is north of me. \r\n\r\nSo the zipcode and city are not agreeing. Is this because I'm using the free version? And even so, one would think the two would agree, zip code and city. \r\n\r\nAlso, which one is more reliable? My goal is to get the closest \"big\" city to the IP, I want to the functionality that websites like yelp offer when you first come to their site. \r\n"}}
