 * I need some information about this plugin .
    In these days google api set a new
   rule: it requires the use of ssl certificate for geo ip detection. If I use this
   plugin, there is the same rule? Thanks, Lorena

 * You mean the Javascript API of Chrome?

 * This has nothing to do with how this plugin detects the Geolocation. The plugin
   simply takes the IP of the caller (which is always available) and then compares
   it to a database table of all IPs and all known locations, that is maintained
   by Maxmind.
 * So no, there are no such limitations here.
