There is a select with payment methods and a map with the nearest terminals, when you select one of the options, the map changes and the nearest terminals are displayed on it.

Answer 1

What Yandex does for you is the use of databases of IP addresses. Not all IPs have a binding to geographical objects (read the address). Whatever can be pulled out as much as possible, then Yandex also transmits to you.
Determining the position of a device is always a function that requires permission to act on the part of the owner of this device. This is how the Geolocation API works.
So make a request ( specification ) and pass the received coordinates to Yandex-maps. If the device is rarely moved, store the received response in localStorage.

There is such a thing, but it's probably not what you need.

If we are talking about a mobile user, you can try to determine yourself
