In this case the User's location is based on the browser's Geolocation API, which is part of the HTML5 standard:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API

GPS information may be part of the algorithm used to determine location, but it's used indirectly.

If you want to display the distance between two arbitrary locations, you can use the toolset-maps-distance-value shortcode with a URL parameter or a pair of latitude/longitude coordinates. We have more information about this shortcode available here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/maps-shortcodes/#toolset-maps-distance-value
See the attached screenshot.
