google maps ip address question

Question

I have an ip address i want to locate all the nearest places ip addresses marked with marker in google maps. How can i achieve it ?

Answer 1

You can use ip2location to get the location of the IP and the use Google Geocoding API to find it's coordinates and place it on a map.

Answer 2

If you want to do this client side, consider using the Google Loader's ClientLocation. It provides IP-based geolocation:

I'm not sure what you mean by nearest places, perhaps you'll then want to reverse geocode the latlng returned by google.loader.ClientLocation:
