Before I begin, I would first like to say that this is running on a home server, so I cannot guarantee its stability. If anyone would be so kind as to offer some of their own, more stable server space for this, then it would be much apreciated. The files to run this service are attatched. If you do wish to run this service yourself, then you will need an api key from google: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html OK on to the service: The first, located at http://beastserver.hopto.org/~teario/google/locate/?ip= will take an ip address and attempt to retrieve the following information: City name Country name Country abbreviation Latitude Longitude You can test it using bot-depots IP here: http://beastserver.hopto.org/~teario/google/locate/?ip=209.59.181.137 Returned should be something like: Quote: Wilbur, WA UNITED STATES US 47.7581 -118.705 Taking the lat and long from those results, we can use the second service, which is a google maps api that takes the lat and long as parameters, and is located here: http://beastserver.hopto.org/~teario/google/locate/locinfo?lat=47.7581&lng=-118.705 The command I use for my bot is the following: Code: my( $self, $params, $email, $name, %style ) = @_;    my @ipinfo = split( "\n", LWP::Simple::get( 'http://beastserver.hopto.org/~teario/google/locate/?ip='.$params ) );    if( scalar( @ipinfo ) > 1 )    {       $info = "City: ".$ipinfo[0]."\n".          "Country: ".$ipinfo[1]."\n".          "Country abbrev: ".$ipinfo[2]."\n";       if( $ipinfo[3] )       {          $info .= "Latitude: ".$ipinfo[3]."\n".              "Longitude: ".$ipinfo[4]."\n".              "Map: ".'http://beastserver.hopto.org/~teario/google/locate/locinfo.php?lat='.$ipinfo[3].'&lng='.$ipinfo[4];       }    }    else    {       $info = $ipinfo[0];    }    $self->sendMessage( $info, %style ); Not all IPs can be located. The website used to retrieve the information seems to cover most of america, but not many other countries. Also since another site is used to locate the IPs, I cannot guarantee their accuracy, however most of the examples I tried (not posted) seem to be pretty good. Some example results using my bot: Quote: (example trying to locate bot-depot) [Teario] says (14:4: !ipinfo 127.0.0.1 [Crybot] says (14:4: City: Wilbur, WA Country: UNITED STATES Country abbrev: US Latitude: 47.7581 Longitude: -118.705 Map: http://beastserver.hopto.org/~teario/google/locate/locinfo.php?lat=47.7581&lng=-118.705 (example of an un-locatable [or in this case, impossible] IP) [Teario] says (14:50): !ipinfo 209.59.555.555 [Crybot] says (14:50): Unable to locate the given IP (locating my own IP [which i have removed from the quote] it could not find my city, so no co-ordinates were given) [Teario]says (14:53): !ipinfo myip.myip.myip.myip [Crybot] says (14:53): City: (Unknown city) Country: UNITED KINGDOM Country abbrev: UK (example of *** as IP (aparently a private address)) [Teario] says (14:53): !ipinfo ***.***.***.*** [Crybot] says (14:53): City: (Private Address) Country: (Private Address) Country abbrev: XX (example of no ip address provided) [Teario] says (14:54): !ipinfo [Crybot] says (14:54): City: (Unknown City?) Country: (Unknown Country?) Country abbrev: XX Well that is pretty much it. I hope you enjoy using the service and put it to good use remember: the files are attatched if you would like to offer to run this service, or also if youre just interested in seeing how I put it together (and maybe improving my code? ) edit: I have just found another service which is very similar to this: http://www.bot-depot.com/viewtopic.php?t=5133 Last edited by Teario on Fri Mar 09, 2007 2:39 pm; edited 2 times in total

In PHP you can get the ip address of the visitor to the site by using $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] Then you can use other services to locate the ip address for you, and give you the latitude and longitude. After that you just have to show a map. If you use the google maps api, then you can create a new marker at the co-ordinates you got from locating the ip. Im pretty sure the above script gets the ip from the pages html code. There are probably services out there that will format them in a way much easier to use so search around first.
