My company is creating a web portal that is designed to put relevant local geographic data in front of our users. Aside from using IP addresses, which are increasingly becoming less reliable as a geotargeting device, what options do we have?

Of the top of my head, there is the new Javascript/HTML5 Geolocation API as used in Safari for iPhone, but are there other methods?

Honestly I'd just add the functionality to let the user decide. Aside from what you're already looking for there isn't a silver bullet that will allow you to be correct 100% of the time. Here and there companies like Google don't know where I am, so I wouldn't overthink this.

I'll just use the example of a restaurant review site, something which would obviously need to be geo-targeted. Aside from trying to divine where your user is, you should have a prominent showing of the location the user is in, e.g., "You are viewing reviews in Denver, Colorado - click to change".

If you're looking for repeat visitors then the users will pick up how to use your site, and after the first visit they'll tell you where they actually are.
