Geo-IP through Cloudflare:

    <script id="cflocation"> 
        window.CFLocation = {"lat":####,"lng":####};window.CFDsm=null;
    </script>
See https://developers.cloudflare.com/network/ip-geolocation/.

Mine's off by more than 100 miles (Comcast Business fiber), it's not magic.

It's probably either just the lat long of the PoP or some magic based connection latency?
