Jovan Posted December 1, 2020 CID Share Posted December 1, 2020 I would like a feature to update the accurate location of the connection being tested or for the website to request my location. My country has repeated cities, towns, and villages. I would prefer if testmy.net gathered the data themselves vs an API. As the API isn't showing any updated information for my ip address. I guess that comes down to how often my ISP updates the information. CA3LE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted December 1, 2020 CID Share Posted December 1, 2020 Here's what I have on the IP you're using right now TMN ID: 1750919130334 ISP: GREENDOT City: Arima, ARI Country: TT Here's what I have on the IP you first registered under TMN ID: 174772342629 ISP: Telecommunication Services of Trinidad and Tobago City: Petit Valley, DMN Country: TT Where are you really located? There's actually already GPS functionality built into TestMy.net but I didn't like my implementation so it's been disabled. That might go back as far as 2012 so it will just need to be rewritten. This will be made available in future versions under advanced settings. If your location or ISP are incorrectly detected it has no affect on your testing or results. Country code (99.8% accurate at that level) is used for a rough approximation to choose the closest server but that's it. ... trust me, I'll love to have that option. When I had it on here before I was having a lot of fun with it, especially on the road. It just wasn't user friendly at the time... but I'm a much better programmer now -- might be able to get it much closer to what I originally imagined that functionality would bring. Thank you for the suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I queried your IP with TMN's IP tools and it's showing WI The reason you see TX and a Texas flag is because it's indicating the server you're testing against. This has confused many people, I need to make it more intuitive or put some explanation. 12 hours ago, Baxter said: Site down now? Who is webmaster now? Hasn't been down. If it was down you wouldn't have been able to post that. I'm the webmaster. Past, present and future WOW - tmn - low.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Posted June 27, 2021 CID Share Posted June 27, 2021 Not sure I understand what you are saying. Someone posted that someone died and I was wondering about the website for "Where are you located" is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
