I haven't tried it but, this should work and it's a simple enough example

# In the default controller

def locateme():
    import json
    from gluon.tools import fetch
    location_data = json.loads(fetch('http://ipinfo.io/%s/json' % request.
client))
    return location_data


# In the view default/locateme.html

{{extend 'layout.html'}}


<dl>
  <dt>City</dt>
  <dd>{{=city}}</dd>
  <dt>Region</dt>
  <dd>{{=region}}</dd>
  <dt>Country</dt>
  <dd>{{=country}}</dd>
</dl>

Then you'll probably need to add some checking for cases where the API 
doesn't return a city/region/country
