You can run Geolocation with images now? What the heck? How?

    It's not the image, it's a normal image. The server does the hard work when you make the request, and then it just builds the image accordingly.

    Yeah I saw OPs explanation in the comments. That is fucking cool! And scary! I've never needed to generate images with code before, so Ive never even considered something like this before.
