This class can detect user location using HTML 5 API or GeoIP API.

It can generate HTML with JavaScript code to detect the user location using Google Maps API on a browser that implements the HTML 5 geo-location API.

The class can also determine the user location by sending a HTTP request to the GeoIP API Web server to retrieve the location associated to the current use IP address.
