In case you are wondering where you are, DNSStuff.com has a solution. Countries are fairly accurate, but cities can vary from 50% to 80% according to their FAQ. Since latitude and longitude don't work with GoogleMaps (I haven't played with it), there isn't a GoogleMap equivalent. Clicking on the image gets you to the original site.
I do find it interesting. While I know I'm not in Port of Spain, it's amusing to me that it would appear to others that I am actually in Port of Spain. Apparently 'just good enough' is all we have to work with in a world where standard GPS usually varies by about 12 feet, and where IP addresses can vary by entire cities. We're getting there... right? :-)
