There is no support for getting the user's location unfortunately.
Using request.connection.remoteAddress will not work, as all requests to your endpoint come from the Alexa cloud in AWS's US-East region, and not from the Echo devices themselves.
You would probably need to ask the user to define their location.

Strange, I thought that might be the case.
It's weird tho that the documentation for ASK states these examples:
“Alexa, ask StubHub what events are happening this weekend near me?”
“Alexa, ask Glympse, when will Jack get here?”
from alexa-app.
In both of those cases I expect that the app is linked to the user's account, which likely has "home" preferences already set. Definitely for Glympse at least.

Damn. Okay thanks man!
