Online GPS

An online location finder
http://www.darnay.com/iec/features/locator/index.html

It uses your IP address and finds the exact location of any internet user in seconds.
They have used a sophisticated time based algorithm to do so. Try it and find your own location on the earth.
Your location will pop up in a new window in about 10 seconds or so.

I don't need a GPS to know where I am. I just need to look around me. If that doen't work. "Ask a Policeman"
