Can any of you please recommend some IP-to-geo mapping database / web

It's mostly dead reckoning with a thick layer of marketing on top to make it
look credible.

The 90% solution is to take the freely-available GeoIP country database and
use that. Beyond that, you're paying lots of money for information that has
a finer granularity but is arguably no more accurate.

I would like to get resolution down to city if possible.

Good luck.
