From the documentation: This library will only function in browsers supporting
the W3C Geolocation API. This excludes Internet Explorer versions 8 and older.
For desktop browsers, the location is usually given based on IP address ranges
and so the accuracy reported by the browser is city-wide. This is almost
universally true when the computer is using a hard-wired network jack. For
computers having wireless connections, the browser MAY use IP ranges combined
with surrounding access point names to give a better location - but this is
purely conjecture on my part.
In any case, the library can only give locations based on what the browser
reports by using the geolocation api.
