Longitude and Latitude are geographic coordinates used to identify a location on Earth. IP lookup tools can show your My IP location and approximate coordinates using geolocation databases, whether it is your IPv4 address or IPv6 address.
How Longitude & Latitude Are Determined
- IP lookup tools map your My IP or My IP address to physical coordinates using geolocation databases.
- Latitude measures the north-south position: from -90° to +90°.
- Longitude measures the east-west position: from -180° to +180°.
- Example: IPv6
2604:1380:1234:abcd::1 → Latitude: 37.7749, Longitude: -122.4194
- IPv4 example: 192.168.1.1 → Latitude: 23.8103, Longitude: 90.4125
Importance of Longitude & Latitude for IP
- Mapping My IP location globally.
- Network analysis and cybersecurity.
- Content localization and personalized services.
- Verifying Current IP address against expected geographic location.
- Helps in correlating IP info with timestamps, devices, and networks.
