Hi,

In your application when end user register at that time the user enter his address or not? If no then there should be fields for end user address. Using google api you can find the latitude and longitude from the address.
So you can save that into the database in 2 different column, let`s say lattitude and longitude.
So when you want to show end user geo location then you can show them using saved lattitude and longitude.

I hope it might be help you.

Thanks,
Viprat

I have solved it myself.
It will be very useful in place of location default display
URL BASED – RETURNS JSON
You have to Pass your IP at the end of this URL.[^]
Coding:

jQuery.getJSON("http://jsonip.appspot.com?callback=?",
function(data){
var clientip = data.ip;
var url ="http://freegeoip.net/json/"+clientip+"?callback=?";
jQuery.getJSON(url, function(data){
$.each(data, function(key, val) {
alert(key+' : '+val);
});
});
});

Other method is using database, it will require frequent updation,
above one is better
