HTML5 user geolocation uses the HTML5’s geolocation API to automatically set the geolocation for users.

This is used on Drupal.org. You can try it out by editing your account on Drupal.org and looking for the "Save my location" option.

This cool feature could be used as a new widget for Geolocation Field.
