geolocation - Best node.js module for finding location? -

i had found couple of node.js modules finding information client location , network using ip address.

requirements:

1. location - country, city, state, latitude, longitude etc.

2. network - internet service provider, internet connection type , internet speed etc.

3. data accuracy - maximum possibility.

note: looking server side solution.

the above mentioned modules uses maxmind data. , had read maxmind data accuracy well.

i little confused choose above node.js modules , know there better node.js frameworks available finding information met requirement or other language plugins can portable node.js.

any idea greatful.

using ip-based geolocation possible, not accurate. suggest think going hybrid approach, trying users location via html5 geolocation api inside browser , fallback serverside if necessary.

i took @ 2 used geoip/-location modules available node.js , both use datasets provided maxmind. afaik have keep these databases up-2-date manually, clear downer. may consider writing little sync service / script, updates database once per month. (more information on maxminds free solution can found here).

kuno/geoip geoip binding, @ it's core it's using libgeoip c library, okay, maybe not portable pure javascript implementation bluesmoon/node-geoip offers. both okay , it's library more. in terms of performance have benchmakrs (if topic matters you) … there no general answer question, type of module (c-binding/native) faster.

if you're willing spend few bucks maxminds web service, simple rest api , precise way go. documentation quite – so getting started won't problem.
