Google Code Blog – google.loader.ClientLocation tells you the city, country, region, longitude and latitude based on the IP address of the client.

curl -i -s http://www.google.com/jsapi | grep ClientLocation
google.loader.ClientLocation = {”latitude”:18.567,”longitude”:73.967,”address”:{”city”:”",”region”:”Maharashtra”,”country”:”India”,”country_code”:”IN”}};
Use http://www.google.com/jsapi and you get location information for free.
