I just use the maxmind API directly, which is super cheap and has no rate limit to my knowledge. This site is using the maxmind dataset anyways.

I wish sites would prefer browser-provided location to services like these. I'm constantly being placed in some random city five or six hundred km away, where my ISP also happens to have customers, even though I have Firefox configured to report accurately (geo.provider.network.url = data:application/json,{"location":{"lat":43.5,"lng":-80.5},"accuracy":1000}).
