You're confusing how internet routing with how some internet services assign geographical locations to ip address (GeoIP). The path your traffic takes through the internet has nothing to do with geoip.

No, I meant both. I got an IP which was identified as belonging to an Italian ISP by ripe. On top of that geoip results were obviously wrong/right depending on how you look at it.
I think what he's saying is that the IPs returned in the trace route might not actually be in the geography we think they are.
