The importance of context to data – IP Address vs Geolocate MAC Address

If this is my IP Address 64.134.26.153, where am I located?

We wrote a script to geolocate my Macbook Pro to the available WiFi, real location. Kinko’s in Vancouver BC routes all their Internet traffic via Texas.

IP Address tracking = FAIL.

WiFi MAC Address = WIN.
