If you want to use this modul just for the statistic, than it's better to use some external tool, for example GeoIP. But, the difference between this modul and external tool is that you can use this data in php and generate pages depending of the user country.
For example, if you have multilanguage site, this modul will choose the right language depending of the user country and in combination with
multicurrency modul, which you can find on the same forum, it will choose the right currency for the user.
You can see how it works on my web site
www.smee.com. If you are coming on the web site from US, the language will be English and the currency will be US$. If you are coming from Germany, the language will be German and the currency EUR.
