How accurate can IP Geolocation get? (2021)

I investigated IP geolocation accuracy to figure out how large to render the &quot;accuracy radius&quot; for the initial geo-ip location on my weather app (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geolocation-survey.leftium.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geolocation-survey.leftium.com&#x2F;</a>)<p>Initially, I thought 25km might be large enough. Sometimes it is, but other times the geo-ip location is off by 800km!<p>So I guess a single number for &quot;accuracy radius&quot; isn&#x27;t good enough.<p>- WiFi-IP-based geolocation tends to be more accurate.<p>- Cellular-IP-based geolocation tends to be a crapshoot.<p>BigData Cloud gives a confidence area for each geo-IP location that is updated daily like this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bigdatacloud.com&#x2F;what-is-my-ip" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bigdatacloud.com&#x2F;what-is-my-ip</a>

I recently wrote a large article on IP geolocation and it turns out that the main source for IP geolocation is still WHOIS data: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ipapi.is&#x2F;geolocation.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ipapi.is&#x2F;geolocation.html</a>
