"...Throwing geo-detection out of control..." Can you use the location of the requesting browser rather than GeoIP?

Unfortunately that is subjected to the "testing website" implementation >=(

it seems that for majority of websites we are helping test - "ip based" detection as opposed to GPS (probably cause the browser will prompt for permission)

It also really gave me lots of insight into how heavily optimized GCP networking is on the lowest level possible, including even BGP, when I deep dived into why this is happening. (but thats a huge side track)
