maxmind GeoLite2-City accuracy_radius -
i using maxmind geolite2-city data locate ip addresses. finding ever see 3 distinct values location/accuracy_radius field in response - 1, 100 , 937 frequent result being 937
eg - on debian box seeing:
/usr/bin/mmdblookup --file /usr/local/maxminddb/geolite2-city.mmdb --ip=52.84.206.231 location accuracy_radius 937
am correct in interpreting radius of uncertainty of 937 kilometres?
if correct afraid have ignore uncertainty , use (usually quite sensible looking) location data being returned.
the accuracy radius creates circle around coordinates in actual location of device falls. measured in kilometers. if @ csv version of database, see many other values returned. radius of 937 km indicates country-level knowledge location of ip address.
