Two considerations that help avoid the IP issue, but require user permission and so have a big obvious disadvantage:
1) We can prompt mobile users to enable location/gps and get their location that way.
2) We can prompt modern browsers to allow location services and get their location that way.
This is if a user wants to have their location 'auto-set' instead of via pulldowns.
3) A hard problem to solve is - mapping a unified set of city names to timezones, and updating the timezones as per Daylight Savings Time and general timezone updates.
Anyone have references for 3) ?
