WooCommerce 4.1+ Geolocation / Geo_IP and Maxmind GeoLite2?

I was in the Woocommerce settings and noticed I had "Default customer location" set to "No location by default". There is a Maxmind GeoLite Database they mention that I can use. However I'm already using the class:

new WC_Geolocation();

and it's working. Could someone explain to me how this works?

The above class is free and I don't need to pay for it, correct?

If Maxmind is a different service, why do others use it? Why not use the free built in class instead?

Maxmind GeoLite2 is FREE.

Since WooCommerce 4.1 things are changing and you have now to signup for Maxmind GeoLite2. It will allow you to generate GeoLite2 license key, that you will set in woocommerce > Settings > Integration:

Everything is explained on this official documentation: MaxMind Geolocation Integration
