Uh okay lol. Like I said, I don’t know much about ipv6, which is why I’m asking questions. I’m not a networking person… lots of experience with MGRS and geospatial systems though. More digits = more precision in that world. I suppose there could be an equal number of regions that ipv6 ranges map to, just more addresses per region, so same precision as ipv4?
Anyway, you particularly should not explain it if you’re worried, thanks.
IPv6 Geolocation: IPv6, each device can have a unique IP address, allowing for more precise geolocation. This is a significant leap from IPv4, where multiple devices might share a single IP, leading to less accurate location data.
That wouldn’t do that. That’s not how any of this works.
That’s so not his it works that I’m worried about explaining it to you.

And assuming they work the same is insane. Geospatial systems map geographic position in space.
Of course more digits means more precise location in space!

“I wonder if…” isn’t exactly an assumption lol
I’m looking it up and found this

Also found another source that claims ipv6 geolocation is not yet as precise as ipv4 in practice.
