GeoIP support for other geo databases?

December 08, 2010 12:05PM
Hi,

I am using the GeoIP module with the MaxMind database. The module works great and does exactly what I need, but I find the quality of the data from MaxMind to be lacking. For example, even the paid MaxMind database does not have ZIP codes for many of the IPs here in the US. For my application, a valid ZIP code is very desirable.

Has anyone looked at extending the GeoIP module to support other geo database providers like Digital Element? Only one database is required at a time, obviously, but it would be desirable to have a choice of database providers. I don't mind digging into the GeoIP code, but thought I would ask first.

Cheers,

Dean
