tcptrace can produce several different types of output containing information on each connection. It can take as input the files produced by several popular packet-capture programs, including tcpdump, snoop, etherpeek, HP Net Metrix, and WinDump. This is what a Point (Precise Location) looks like in a Tweet. tcptrace is a tool written by Shawn Ostermann at Ohio University, for analysis of TCP dump files.

In the Twitter iPhone and Android app you can enable a Precise Location Tracking like this: So that will be a general area, like a city, unless the user has also enable Precise Location Tracking. You can click the Add Location button and it will insert what Twitter calls a Place, which in GEOJson is called a Polygon. To get started, here is what a Tweet looks like from a browser. But if you want to pursue this further, you could study this academic paper and write an ML algorithm to improve user tracking accuracy to make your application be better at doing that.

This means it might not be really useful for marketing, customer support, or other kids of research. But there is a limit to that, as Twitter users must opt into location tracking or manually add the location to tweets.Д«y one purely anecdotal estimate, somewhere between 1% of Twitter users have set up precise location tracking and 10% have set up tracking to a wider area, such as a city.

(For more background on GEOJson, i.e., the universal standard to designate geographic location, you can read what we wrote about using locations in MongoDB here.) Twitter Users Must Opt into Location Tracking

Here we explain how to track users and tweets by their location.
