That site guessed a location 6 hours rive (~400 miles) away. It did get the state right, but California is the 3rd largest state. It is more akin to guessing Boston were I in Washington DC. I think a more accurate approach is to have many servers/routers in known key locations and "triangulate" based on traceroutes that go through them to specific IP addresses. I haven't thought it out completely but I have been wondering about how to do this lately.
