GeoIP is quite trustworthy - the more you pay them the better the DB you get is but the free one was typically in the correct zipcode and almost always in the correct city.  I believe they are run by MaxMind now and plug directly into what ever your using through Apache.

Hi,

I am looking at translating IP addresses into city/state/country.

I found this service http://www.geoplugin.com/ however I do not know who to trust.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Access the SWIP registrar for that area.  This is all covered by RFC 1491 and 2050.

Google "swip whois lookup" and enter the IP there.
