Let's say it like this:

- https://api.ipdata.co/1.1.1.1

City name: Research

- https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-demo?ip=1.1.1.1

City name: Research

They aren't using a copy of Maxminds DB, see:

https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-precision-demo?ip=185.10.6... (No data)

https://api.ipdata.co/185.10.68.114 (lots of data)

I wonder if Maxmind have put in some "Trap Streets" in their dataset. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_street
