You can still request Geolocation and if the computer has a prior record w/o IP, you can get a location up the chain.

    Geolocation sometimes mis-locates some netblocks.

    I've seen complaints by people who can't get any website to respect their proper location ( or often language ) because of GeoIP that was haywired for their IP address-block.
