There are reasons why you might want to know where a site to which you are connected is located besides just plain old snoopyness or 'net byteheaded fun.
   The one which comes to mind most easily is that you need to know where junk mail originates from or wht, exactly, owns this site you think is totally out of line with the know world's tastes.
   Enter Visual Route.
   I want to admit is is fun to trace a connection. Visual Route does this with style. The map you see here does it visually (and it can be zoomed in and out), but there is also a very comprehensive list of  "jumps" your connection performs to get you where you want to go. How long it takes to make each jump, where the jump is located and other information is at the tip of your fingers.
   However, in many ways, that is the fun part of this excercise. Even if you can trace the route, it is not that easy to tell where you ended up. Unless you have Visual Route.
   Consider: this sort of information represents everything you need to know about the web site you have contacted. Real name, address, telephone number! And, for good measure, the email address and information on when the account was last updated to the net's powers-that-be.
   Indeed, like the cheese in the nursery song, Visual Route stands alone. Its worth having and using.
