Find Computer Location provides a way to create a point result that is the geographic location of a web address or an IP address. An IP address (or Internet Protocol address) is a unique address that certain electronic devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard. If you want to locate the IP address of the computer you are using, click Use This Computer. Note that this may not be the exact physical location of where you are, but rather the registered IP location, so in some cases, this may be where your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is.

Note   You don't need to specify the protocol portion of a web address, e.g., http://. Some examples of valid addresses are:

• usgs.gov
• www.esri.com
• www.paris.fr
• yale.edu
