Nowadays, it is possible to identify the location of each user based on their IP. This is accurate to the city. I thought that maybe other users would be interested in seeing where other users are currently located (on the user profile page). Since everyone has the right to privacy, they can disable this option - but then they won't be able to see the locations of others. What do you think of the idea?

makeup if I am in Estonia and live in Pärnu and if I go to Tartu, will it show that I live in Tartu....

Yes - it shows where you are currently located (in Tartu then)

To do this, you need to know the person's IP!

One problem with this type of location detection is inaccuracy. In my case, all kinds of location detectors show that I am located in Rakvere, although in reality I am in Tallinn or Tartu (Elion connection in both places). So, some data is obtained, but it is up to you whether it is useful or whether any conclusions can be drawn from it...
