## Does Segment offer a way to convert IP addresses to geolocation data, and what are my options if I need this functionality?
## I need to convert IP addresses to geolocation data. Can Segment do it for me?

Segment does not automatically convert IP addresses to geolocation data. Our platform focuses on collecting raw data, leaving post-processing tasks like IP to geolocation conversion to your downstream tools, such as Google Analytics.
Segment doesn't convert IP addresses to geolocation data. Segment focuses on collecting raw data, leaving post-processing tasks like IP-to-geolocation conversion to your downstream tools, like Google Analytics.

If you need this functionality, you have a couple of options:

* Use Downstream Tools: Many analytics platforms, like Google Analytics, can automatically handle IP-to-geolocation conversion.

* Utilize a Third-Party API: Alternatively, you can use third-party services like Geolocation API to convert IP addresses to geolocation data. Afterward, you can pass this information as a trait in Identify calls or as a property in Track calls to Segment. Note that implementing this solution will require some engineering resources. This allows you to manage geolocation data according to your specific needs.
