Once you've searched for a place and found it on the GeoNames map view, there are a number of links you can use to correct data ("move", "edit", "alternate names", etc.). If you find some other sort of mistake, like an incorrect spelling, please check the GeoNames site ( ) first.
If the problem you find is that an IP address is incorrectly mapped, please submit your correction to MaxMind at. We source data such as place names, ISO codes, and other similar data from the GeoNames premium data set. Some of the data that MaxMind provides is also sourced from GeoNames. This is the ID of a geographical feature (city, region, country, etc.) in the GeoNames database. Many of the records returned by the GeoIP web services and databases include a geoname_id field. Each feature is uniquely identified by a geoname_id, which is an integer. They offer both free and paid premium data. GeoNames ( ) offers web services and downloadable databases with data on geographical features around the world, including populated places. GeoIP2::Record::Subdivision - $subdivision->iso_code or $subdivision->geoname_id
GeoIP2::Record::Country and GeoIP2::Record::RepresentedCountry - $country->iso_code or $country->geoname_id GeoIP2::Record::Continent - $continent->code or $continent->geoname_id Instead we recommend using one of the following: We strongly discourage you from using a value from any names accessor as a key in a database or hash. The XS implementation is approximately 100x faster than the pure Perl implementation.

If you install the libmaxminddb library ( ) and MaxMind::DB::Reader::XS, then the XS implementation will be loaded automatically. This module only depends on the pure Perl implementation of the MaxMind database reader ( MaxMind::DB::Reader). See GeoIP2::WebService::Client for details on the web service client API and GeoIP2::Database::Reader for the database API. The API also works with the free GeoLite2 databases. This distribution provides an API for the GeoIP2 web services and databases.
