I think he's looking to resolve the IP of the visitor with a location. That's possible, but not perfect. Often what you'll see is not the IP/Location of the end user-but that of the users gateway server... for example, many AOL customers look like they are in Virginia. Yes, you'll need some sort of service to do that, but it's not foolproof. I'd see if Google has anything like that. Their data base is probably the most reliable with all the analytics they run.

The browser itself supports geolocation. Google Maps is its own API. What else are you looking for?
