An Audio Visualization Website?

How can I get a visualization of visitor IP by location on a Google map on my website?

  • i.e. when the visitor accesses the website the IP is geolocated and a map displayed in the screen.

  • Answer:

    From the question it sounds like you want to show a map to your users that shows all prior visitor locations. If that's the case, going forward the recommendation is to use the HTML5 navigator.geolocation method eg. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#DetectingUserLocation You could store each visitor lat/lng and then render them on a map Otherwise, another free option for non-HTML5 visitors, you could capture IPs and look them up in something like MaxMind's GeoLiteCity database, but there is more work involved in building that and then maintaining the data set http://www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity

The http://ipinfo.io homepage shows a map of the user's approximate location using Google Maps static API (see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/?csw=1). You can do something similar by making use of the ipinfo.io API to get the user's location, and the same Google API to render the map. Here's a javascript snippet that does exactly that: $.get("http://ipinfo.io", function (response) {     $("#map").html("<img src='https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=300x300&sensor=false&zoom=10&center=" + response.loc +"'/>"); }, "jsonp"); And here's the resulting map:

Here is a quick tool that allows you to paste in an IP Address and see the approximate location of the visitor - http://www.seomoz.org/ip2loc If you really want fine tuned details of where your visitors are from I would recommend signing up for a free account with Google Analytics.  Once you are tracking your visitors with Google Analytics you will be able to see a map overlay with additional details on the locations.  http://www.google.com/analytics/

You can visit this site http://www.ip-details.com/ip-details-client/ and copy the code available there and post it on your web page or website. Then you can Have Your Viewers IP Address, and IP Address details(country, ISP, address, etc.) displayed on your website, or Provide an IP Search for your website users. Results will be displayed on your website
