This is on a fresh install and calling the getLongitude and getLatitude methods.

hello, try setting the https://github.com/buonzz/laravel-4-freegeoip/blob/master/src/config/config.php
values, specially make it so like its http instead of https, some users is having issues on retrieving data via https.

I did it

1. php artisan config:publish buonzz/laravel-4-freegeoip
2. change URL ('freegeoipURL' => 'https://www.freegeoip.net/json/')
3. composer dumpautoload

My code

But.. But the error continues to appear

Any updates on this one?

appears to be the https://freegeoip.net/ online service times out. being a free service, we cannot ensure its uptime.
i would suggest you install it in your own server.
https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip
then change the url to your own server.
