It told me that I was in Dallas, TX when I'm actually in Bloomington, IN. Albeit, its because I'm going through an SBC/AT&T line and their IP block whois data shows Richardson, TX. The only useful information I've been able to get from these geoip tools is what country you are from. And even that is not 100% accurate. But its useful enough to help kick up the spam score if the email comes from .ru or .cn. Anything that tries to be more specific than that is going to be way off most of the time.
One of our customers contacted some company that claimed they could give you a street address based on an IP address. Which is total BS. I can't believe companies would make claims like that.
