Tracking the location of an IP address
Sometimes you may need to find out the exact location of an IP address. For example, if you pick up a proxy from a proxy list (like SamAir.ru), you get only the country where the proxy is located. To find out the exact location of the IP you should perform a location lookup. There are many sites/services that can do this. My favorites are GeoBytes IP Locator and IP2Location.
GeoBytes shows a Google map of city, along with a bunch of other information (country, city, latitude, longitude, distance to nearby cities, etc.) about the location itself.
IP2Location also offers the name of the ISP (Internet Service Provider).
If you want more information on an IP address, you can do a WHOIS search also. ARIN WHOIS Database gives you information on who hosts a certain IP address and their registration information.
