Tell us what you are trying to do?

We're using Toolset's 3.4.5.

Is it possible to use HTML5's geolocation API to display results that are closest to the visitor? And if the visitor does not give the browser permission to transmit geolocation information, then maybe use the user's IP address as a fallback?
