IP address map

***Corey*** · 10-17-2008, 11:22 AM

There are many places online where you can find out what your external IP address is for your computer.
http://whatismyip.com/

Here is a site that will show you your IP and a map of where you live, or close to it.
I suspect the footage in the map is where the hub/trunk is for your location.
http://www.ip-adress.com/ipaddresstolocation/

Once on the page above, click the link titled "click for big IP address image" and you will see a map of your area.
Take your cursor off of the icon in the map, and use your scroll wheel to zoom in more.
See if you can spot anything familiar for your area.

You may see cars, swimming pools, and much more.
You may even spot your home.
You can also grab the map and move it around and enter other areas.

Now thats just weird

It sure is.
Nothing like the satellite pics the government can see though.
They can zoom up close enough to see your face.

I used Google Earth or something similar a year back.
You enter your address and you can see your home.

I could see my old '91 4Runner in its parking space, yet I had not had the 4Runner for quite a long time.
Lot of them are older maps.
