There are a few ways to get this done for free. First place where I stumbled up on was http://www.hostip.info. This is a community-based project which does locate the geographical location of IP address. They have a firefox plugin which comes handy for the curious souls.
Other one which I found interesting was http://www.maxmind.com/app/city. This is a commercial one, though they have free country lookup. They have a python api which you can use in your code to locate the country from the visitor's IP address.
You can find a few hundred+ of such useful sites which a google search.

Thank you for the link Julius. For those who want to use google map in their website, google provides a way. You can get the API Key and use the google maps API to embed the map in your website. Little bit of a work, but no 3rd party dependancy.
