EPiServer's geo location visitor group is depending on MaxMind's legacy database that they are not updating any more, following nuget package 'PixieEPiServerExtensionMaxMindGeoIP2' can be an option. It is based on MaxMind.Db and MaxMind.GeoIP2 apis. Code is available on GIT. It has been implemented as a service that potentially can be replace with your own geo location service also. Same service can be used out side of visitor group also

e.g

GeolocationMaxmindService service = new GeolocationMaxmindService();
            NameValueCollection config = new NameValueCollection();
            config.Add("databaseFileName", @"C:\EPiServer\Extension\Maxmind\GIT\Maxmind.GeoIP\GeoIpTests\db\GeoLite2-City.mmdb");
            var result = service.GetGeoLocation(IPAddress.Parse("213.205.251.152"), config);
