I live in the US, and IP geolocation points to the incorrect regions (plural) on all my devices.

Few technologies manage to make my day-to-day internet experience than these sorts of databases.

I wish they would just go away.

Websites could just ask me my zipcode on first load instead of guessing it wrong every single time and then burying the flow to fix it behind multiple links and page loads.

Also: There is no way to fix the database to produce the “correct” or “better” answer. I rarely want a website to use my current location.

Instead, I check inventory for stores in places where I will be. This whole space is trying to solve an ill-posed problem.
