Thanks for your feedback!
I have tested the entire update process again, and it seems to be working fine here...
Version _ **1.0.0** _ is now available on npm:
@Jacq: there are now 3 different solutions for your problem, but you have not responded yet to any of those. Would be nice to get some feedback ....

Wow, thanks for the overwhelming support.
To summarize the options for future visitors:
- [Use external service api](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-flow-to-convert-ip-to-coordinates/27852/2), such as [https://ipstack.com/product](https://ipstack.com/product) (nice free plan by the way)
- [Use standard npm function geoip-lite](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-flow-to-convert-ip-to-coordinates/27852/4), as a global ref and the require it in a function.
[Use new ip-location-lite module](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/node-flow-to-convert-ip-to-coordinates/27852/21) from @BartButenaers that already includes geoip integration and optionally database update (free account require).
I have just tested three methods and they work great, thanks:
Here is the demo, need to setup ACCESS\_KEY in ipstack to test it:
