GeoIP is a product from Maxmind, the post does not actually implicate Maxmind at all.

Perhaps a better title is "Google Maps location data is used to localise other Google services"

Yes, I was confused by this.

Of course, Google will use its own data to get more precise in pairings IPs with locations. And of course, Google won’t share this data with MaxMind’s GeoIP. Very confusing post.
