Enhancing Geographic Reports
SmarterStats uses a very efficient and accurate Geographic engine based
on databases provided by MaxMind. These databases are very accurate, and
correctly identify most traffic hitting your server. Because geo-location
data changes frequently, SmarterStats will release a new update of these
databases with every minor release of SmarterStats.
For those requiring constantly up-to-date geo-location data, MaxMind makes
available a premium database that is updated monthly. In addition, the
premium database takes into account dial-up services like AOL and Earthlink.
