Setting Up the Geolocation Module in PrestaShop 1.5

Geolocation is used to determine where your customers are located.  The module graphically determines your customer origins on a map available to administrators through the reports section of the Administrator dashboard.  The report helps an administrator by visibly identifying where your customers are located on a geographical map.  You can easily see location trends instead of a list of countries or other locations that may not seem to have a relationship.  The following steps demonstrate how to install and configure the Geolocation module for your PrestaShop 1.5.
