You are using the javascript api for geocoding, which means that you will not be able to use the geocoding data on the server in your php code or theme.

So you have a few options:

1. Use a plugin. (You didn't say what was wrong with the wpgeolocation plugin, but there are other plugins that can help you out).
2. Do geocoding in PHP on the server using something like geocoder . It's definitely more involved and requires more coding.
3. Modify your content via javascript using the results you got from the Google Geocoding Javascript API.
