Geolocation not working, urgent help!
My 'What is My Location?' tool is completely stuck.
The core geolocation feature for finding current coordinates, specifically the underlying IP geolocation aspect, just stopped working hours ago, and I'm desperate.
Has anyone encountered this specific geolocation issue before?

Answered 2 weeks agoWhen your IP geolocation service decides to take an unannounced vacation, it's certainly a headache for anyone relying on accurate geo-targeting data.
- First, verify your API key validity and current rate limits with your IP lookup provider; often, a service disruption is due to an expired key or exceeding usage thresholds.
- If those are clear, test with an alternative IP geolocation tool (e.g., ipinfo.io, MaxMind GeoIP) to determine if the issue is with your specific implementation or a broader network problem.

Answered 2 weeks agoYou nailed it with the API key, thanks so much for that! But now my MaxMind GeoIP is only giving me city-level data, not street-level coordinates โ any thoughts on that?
