How does navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition get your latitude and longitude?
Does it extract that information from your IP address? If not, then how does it get your lat and long coordinates?

From geotargetly:
"HTML5 geolocation detects latitude and longitude coordinates by using the device's GPS (if available on the device) or the device's mobile/WIFI signal (if GPS is not available. The mobile/WIFI signals are triangulated to work out the latitude and longitude."
