It appears it is back up now. But before I realized it was working, I used another way to get location data as recommended by another user on reddit.com
var latLong;
$.getJSON("http://ipinfo.io", function(ipinfo){
console.log("Found location ["+ipinfo.loc+"] by ipinfo.io");
latLong = ipinfo.loc.split(",");
});
