If you have delegated reverse DNS, one could publish DNS LOC records:
1.11.190.44.in-addr.arpa. IN LOC 42 N 42 W
see, for optional precision/elevation parameters:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOC_record
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1876
Whether or not the forward/reverse records are consumed by the various
third-party Geo-IP sites remains to be seen, but under the guise of
amateur radio, it might make sense to *experiment*, try, and
report back.
...Perhaps even with a proposal that all networks/IP addresses under
44.0/8.415 MAY or SHOULD provide LOC records. Thus opening things up
to a bit of data analysis---perhaps something CAIDA would be
interested in?
