IP address to GPS coordinates
Benjamin
(Latitude and Longitude) when you have a users IP Address?
When my users post to a web service i'm pretty sure i know their IP.
I'd like to get the Latitude and Longitude of the client based on that
like GEO IP does but from my system running on app engine.

would download the database and load it into the datastore.

google.loader.ClientLocation.longitude);
There's code available (montao.googlecode) doing something simililar
and live usecase koolbusiness.com

javascript and a geolocation service provided my google maps API as
Niklasrol above suggests, it is free for non-commercial use and the
most acurate method.
For an example you can take a look at my app http://www.geognos.com/geo/en/cc/us.html
and select move map > my place from the drop box on top right for an
explanation take a look at page source and javascript.
If you have to do it in the server you can use an API like maxminds as
Ulrich above is suggesting or you can build your own service on app
engine.
For an example of the later see http://milon.appspot.com/stravon/db/cc/83.212.217.149
and may be you read my remarks on this here in the following thread

Happy coding ;)

would be ideal for me, since i need to get them during a POST coming
from devices; i won't be able to launch any client code. I'm sure
there will be a web service that does this eventually or i'll make it.

How important is a correct answer on the first try?
I'm visiting a friend in Thousand Oaks, CA,
but this site says I'm in Reston, VA.
I suspect that it says most if not all Verizion customers,
live in Reston, VA.
These guys do a better job with my current ip,
they think I'm in Oxnard, CA with my friends tell me
is 15min or so by car, not a couple days by car.
Demos are free, but if you want to check more than
25/day you need to pay.

VA since I'm using verizon fios - so maybe that resource isn't very
good for my purposes after all.
