There's a service providing this: ipinfo.io.
You can invoke it using curl. Example:
curl ipinfo.io
Result:
{
"ip": "...",
"hostname": "...",
"city": "...",
"region": "...",
"country": "...",
"loc": "...,...",
"org": "..."
}
A specific IP's info can also be requested: curl ipinfo.io/216.58.194.46:
{
"ip": "216.58.194.46",
"hostname": "dfw25s12-in-f14.1e100.net",
"city": "Mountain View",
"region": "California",
"country": "US",
"loc": "37.4192,-122.0574",
"org": "AS15169 Google Inc.",
"postal": "94043"
}

The curl command above just goes to a service without providing anything private. ipinfo.io has almost only the source IP to use to pin point the location and get data.

@DavidPostill Google Maps uses GPS to position you on the map, it's pretty accurate. Geolocation by IP address usually gets region right.

Since the question doesn't specify an OS, this is how to get that same information with PowerShell's curl (actually an alias of Invoke-WebRequest):
(curl ipinfo.io).Content
That produces a JSON string. To get the object that JSON represents, use ConvertFrom-Json:
curl ipinfo.io | ConvertFrom-Json
Since that's a PowerShell object, you can easily get specific fields from it. For example, this command gets just the external IP as a string:
(curl ipinfo.io | ConvertFrom-Json).ip
Note that the geographical information from this service isn't super accurate, but it did locate me within 20 miles or so. The ISP information seems to be reliable.

You can also use from PowerShell:
Invoke-RestMethod http://ipinfo.io/json
The command output will already give us the location in JSON
