Alternatively, you[1] can use JavaScript in your code and have it submit AJAX requests. This interacts with the browser, asking it where (geographically) it thinks it is. This interacts with a GPS some browsers (particularly mobile), while on others, it trusts the user to report where they are. Note that at any time, the user can decline to answer or blatantly lie[2]. -tkc [1] generic "you"...this requires a fair bit of coding skill and the ability to read/understand documentation that I can't say I've seen demonstrated in certain recent threads.
