I see that only IPStack is supported in the below page.

> <https://github.com/focallocal/fl-maps/blob/master/server/methods/general/location.js>

Would it be possible to add the option to choose the [IP2Location.io](http://IP2Location.io) API?

> **[IP Geolocation API | IP2Location.io](https://www.ip2location.io/)**
>
> An IP Geolocation API tool that provides geolocation information like country, city, ISP, proxy and so on in JSON and XML formats by using users' IP addresses.

Without an API key, it will allow 500 geolocation queries per day. If subscribed to the free API plan and using its API key, the user can get 30,000 queries per month.

That sounds like an excellent idea. @Marvelxy and [@WebDev](https://publichappinessmovement.com/groups/webdev) team can anyone see any issues with making this change?
