The second version of the Personalise Site plugin has just been released  
and now includes methods to implicitly gain a users geo data.

These additions are intended to be used to further customise and improve  
a users browsing experience.

For example you may want to display content on a homepage that is  
relevant to a users location or you may want to automatically select the  
right country in a registration form to improve the signup experience.

This can be achieved in your views by making use of these methods:

Returns which country the user is in  
\<%= which\_country %\>

Returns which city the user is in  
\<%= which\_city %\>

The users geographical coordinates  
longitude: \<%= longitude\_coordinate %\>  
latitude: \<%= latitude\_coordinate %\>
