Description:
Provides visitor's geographical location using client device location source 
that implements W3C Geolocation API whereas the coordinates are geocoded using Google 
Geocoding service. Google Geocoding returns a more detailed location information such 
as: street number, postal code, route, neighborhood, locality, sublocality, 
establishment, administrative area level 1, administrative area level 2, etc. 

Smart IP is the last fallback if W3C Geolocation API failed. Even if the visitors 
refuses to share their location, the geographical information provided by Smart IP will 
be used to know your visitors' geolocation details. A themeable Block content is 
available to show your visitor's geolocation information. Device Geolocation merges its 
location data (collected at Google Geocoding service) with Smart IP visitor's location 
data storage which is in session variable ($_SESSION) with array key 'smart_ip' and 
Drupal $user->data object with array key 'geoip_location'.

Requirements:
Drupal 6.x
Smart IP

Installation:
