To be fair, some IPs simply can't reasonably be mapped beyond the country level (even if MaxMind often tries).
For example in Germany some carriers just give you a random IP from a pool that is used for half the country, and will give you a new IP every 24 hours. How would you geolocate those with a downloadable database.
