The following shows up at Fremont but it should be NYC, right? 7 100ge10-1.core1.nyc6.he.net (184.105.64.178) 10.344 ms 9.712 ms 20.411 ms

Yes this is the disadvantage of traditional IP geolocation databases. They work mostly by sourcing information from RIRs and ISPs. Unfortunately for a lot of larger organizations which typically exist in internet backbone that is very inaccurate. This skews the traceroute mapping significantly.

I don't want to shamelessly plug-in stuff here but we have geolocation API which uses latency triangulation and does not suffer from those issues.

Stefan - I would be more than happy to donate the API access if you have time to integrate it. Can I email you with details ?
