How accurate is IP geolocation?
IP-based location works by looking your address up in a database that maps blocks of IPs to a rough geographic area. It's usually accurate to the city or region, but it can be off by many miles — or point to the wrong city entirely — especially on mobile networks and connections that use carrier-grade NAT. It does not reveal your street address or identity.
Your device's own geolocation (the "precise location" above) is different: it uses GPS, nearby Wi-Fi and cell towers and can be accurate to a few metres. Because it's so precise, browsers only share it with your explicit permission.
