The first thing is: the MAC address won't help you - it has no geographic location and it isn't normally propagated beyond the internet connection router so it is very unlikely to acquire one.

To do anything like this, you need to get the external IP address (which is not your PC IP - that again doesn't leave the local network) which means talking to an external site which will bounce it back to you. You can then use a geolocation service to find the latitude and longitude.

Google can help you with both of these tasks.
