When we first started CPH127 I thought our main interestbase would be in Denmark, USA and maybe to some extent Asia. I had never imagined that people would be visiting from Cote D’Ivore in Africa for example. In order to visualize this we installed a gVisit map, which displays our visitors on a Google Map. I tried integrating the map on our site, but it doesn’t seems to be possible. If someone can help me, please let me know. Until then you can go to gVsisit and look at our map yourself.

You should try out our tracker - its more feature rich + GoogleMaps: http://mapstats.blogflux.com/

I just tried your tracker Ahmed, but when it tracked me it said I was in Ballerup which is a completely different city than Copenhagen where I am located. gVisit gets me right though?

Yours seem to have a nicer and faster interface, if we make the switch, could we then integrate the map into our site?

The one short coming of IP->location databases - we tried about half a dozen, and the one we use was the most accurate for our own testing. How far is Ballerup from where you live? (My knowledge of Scandanavian cities is very limited :))

As for having a map on the site - the problem is that we use the Google Map API, and exporting it to another site is impossible. We are working on the possibility of creating a static image every day (a shrunken size of the following: http://mapstats.blogflux.com/gcpic_0_0.png). So while for now I have to say that we do not have that available, we are working on it :)
