java - Server Side Geolocating? -


so method used in recent past detect users location when arrive @ website ip geolocating. can done server side, nice because home page want user see if location can't determined...if location found easy redirect them proper page , doesn't interrupt initial experience on site @ all.

when ip address coming mobile network gets tricky because ip address method not accurate longer. solution i've seen used in situation html5's geolocation api. problem page has load first smooth redirect when location found not possible.

is there server side method obtaining accurate location, if user coming mobile network?
