Geolocation - Wikipedia
From Web Browser:
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(geoSuccess, geoError);
As of Chrome 50, the Geolocation API only works on secure contexts (HTTPS). If your site is hosted on a non-secure origin (such as HTTP), any requests for the user's location no longer function.
From Web Server:
"The Google Maps Geolocation (REST web service) API returns a location and accuracy radius based on information about cell towers and WiFi nodes that the mobile client can detect.
You must specify a key in your request, included as the value of a key parameter. A key is your application's API key. This key identifies your application for purposes of quota management. Learn how to get a key."
"a public HTTP API for software developers to search the geolocation of IP addresses. It uses a database of IP addresses that are associated to cities along with other relevant information like time zone, latitude and longitude. You're allowed up to 10,000 queries per hour by default."
