Geolocation for Laravel

Resolve a client's location from an IP address, coordinates or a street address, and the travel distance between two points, through a pluggable pipeline of providers: IPinfo, IP2Location, Google, MaxMind (with a native .mmdb reader) and a configurable fallback.

Installation

Requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12 or 13.

composer require roundly-consulting/geolocation-for-laravel

IP lookups work out of the box through IP2Location and IPinfo. Address lookups and distances go through Google and need GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY in your .env, with the Geocoding API and the Routes API enabled on that key.

Usage

Locate the visitor, geocode an address and measure a drive, all through the facade:

use RoundlyConsulting\Geolocation\DataTransferObjects\Coordinates;
use RoundlyConsulting\Geolocation\Enum\DistanceType;
use RoundlyConsulting\Geolocation\Facades\Geolocation;

$location = Geolocation::locateRequest();          // the client's IP; null when nothing resolves

$location?->city;              // "Mountain View"
$location?->countryIsoCode;    // "US"
$location?->timezone;          // "America/Los_Angeles"

$office = Geolocation::locateAddress('1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View');
$office?->coordinates();       // Coordinates(37.4224, -122.0841)

$distance = Geolocation::distanceBetween(
    new Coordinates(48.1482, 17.1067),
    new Coordinates(49.2000, 16.6068),
    DistanceType::Driving,
);

$distance?->humanReadableDistance;   // "133 km"
$distance?->durationInSeconds;       // 5400
