In computing, Internet geolocation is software capable of deducing the geographic position of a device connected to the Internet.[1] For example, the device's IP address can be used to determine the country, city, or ZIP code, determining its geographical location.[2] Other methods include examination of Wi-Fi hotspots,[3] a MAC address, image metadata, or credit card information.[citation needed]
