Have GeoIP but still countries don't match IP

Support & Bugs
1

I have installed GeoIP and if I randomly pick an IP from my webstats, for example this one: 203.87.159.13, Piwik says: USA but if I look it up on whois ip then it says PHILIPPINES… what to trust?

I have a similar experience - even though I’ve now got GeoIP installed.

GeoIP has separate widgets that you can add to your Dashboard

I have installed the Geo IP plugin. Updated the config file. Cleared the archives table. Emptied the tmp/*

But the Country map still shows wrong information. What am I missing here?

See the attached image, shows nothing from India on the map.

The geoip plugin has its own widgets because it stores the geolocation in new columns

The existing Piwik widgets are not integrated to use those fields.

We plan to add and integrate geolocation to the base Piwik distribution.

Thank you for this information - I hadn’t realised there were separate GeoIP widgets. Now I’ve activated these the Dashboard shws some more sensible results. Sounds like a good move to integrate them in a future release. Thanks.
