Note that if you're using this load balancer behind a CDN then the results can be incorrect, although probably generally within the same region.

Also MaxMind does have completely free databases down to the city level, just with lower accuracy compared to their paid products: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

This probably will depend on CDN. Google's CDN is part of the Load Balancer itself and therefore it won't affect geolocation. With "3rd party" CDNs it's different, of course.

Finally, the free version of MaxMind is great. Thanks for mentioning it.
