center map depending on user ip address

[Florent2]

Hello,

With the Google Maps JavaScript API, is there a way to center the map
around the user location, depending on its IP address?

Thanks!

Hello

You will first have to find out the geographical location of the
user's ip address. You can use the geolocation api from google (http://
code.google.com/apis/gears/api_geolocation.html) or another
geolocation service (there are several online which you can use). And
then just use those coordinates as your map's center.

Hope this helps!

and another method is the Ajax API loader which can give you location
to the city based on IP:
