How to block IP address location look up

How do you block your IP address from people? What I mean by this is say someone got my IP address from an email that I sent them. How can I make it so when they enter my IP address at www.ip-adress.com or other similar websites how can I block them from seeing my exact location on the Google map which these sites bring up?

I think this is a huge invasion on my privacy!!! People should not be able to look up my address or nearby locations if I send them an email regarding a complaint for a bad/junk product or service which I received say while I was shopping at their public store.

You cannot block an IP address location lookup. What you can do is hide behind some other service' address.

There are a couple of anonymous surfing programs which route all traffic through their servers so that when you access a web site or send an Email through a web mail it will log the anonymous surfing company's servers instead of logging your real IP address.

There are a few such services, I would suggest to search for them and see which one fits your needs.

There are ways to block or hide your IP address as most website you visit will record you IP address.  Here is a website that gives details on how to do this, click here.
