Heyy guys

I wanted to check if anyone knows of a reliable API that we can use to determine the user's city and country from his IP address.

My search on Google led to http://ipinfodb.com/ip_location_api.php

It seems perfect but my only concern is the reliability of this service. Does google have anything like this. If you know any other Free or paid API's that help determine user's location from his IP - please let me know

THanks
