That is true you could use some JS but you will not get that close. For instance, my network location will show up that I live in California about 80% of the time. I live no where close to California. Not knowing what you are doing I can offer you a generic suggestion. Set a start up page and have the user type in their zip code, county or state. Use that to set the center of the map. It will get you way closer and it will remove any need for pointless coding. Why write code that is only going to work sometimes and when it does it won't even work that well.
