The address belongs to AS25485 (VeriSign Inc.), the network responsible for routing its traffic. The operator profile is consistent with consumer broadband. Even so, the coordinates describe an approximate service region — commonly the provider’s routing hub — not a household. Registry and routing signals resolve the address to United States, most likely near Lakeside, with medium confidence.

Fix derived from registry allocation and ISP-published routing data. Accuracy degrades on mobile, satellite, and corporate networks. Treat the radius as the meaningful result — not the centre point.

Approximate network region only. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.
About this result
Is this location exact? No. The coordinates mark the centre of a probable area roughly 50 km across derived from network registration and routing data. IP geolocation cannot identify an individual, household, or street address.
Why does the city look wrong? Providers route traffic through regional hubs, mobile carriers share one address across thousands of devices, and VPNs show the exit server. See how accurate IP geolocation really is.
What is AS25485? The autonomous system is the network that actually routes this address’s traffic — often more informative than the map pin. What is an ASN?
