Hi,

I'd like to get some precisions about how geoPlugin get Data from
Maxmind.
Here is my problem : I got differences on geolocating an IP , from
light version Maxmind and from geoPlugin.

Maxmind got light version database file, a version with more accuracy,
and a webservice.
I tested on maxmind light version and webservice (demo request), with
the same response.

Geoplugin, supposed to get data from Maxmind, still, give me a
different response.
The IP I checked is 217.109.20.9

Maxmind response : Paris
GeoPlugin response : Taverny


Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi, 

The reason is that Paris was added in the last update. The last update 
was corrupt at the last check (checks are bi-monthly) and so was 
discarded. 

I have manually downloaded the update, which would have occurred in 3 
days automatically, and verified that Paris is indeed correctly 
showing. 

Thanks
