"When ever launching the web-app in chrome browser using selenium webdriver, 
Geo-location(Geo Location) Pop up is coming on the top of the browser."

in this case, u may try something like this:

@BeforeMethod
public void clearPopup() {
    driver.navigate().refresh();
    Thread.sleep(2000);//wait until the page is loaded.
    //try to use explicit wait

     try {

            Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();                
            alert.dismiss();
           } catch (NoAlertPresentException ex) {
             //System.out.println("No alert for this test case.");
           }        
}

this method will run before all ur testcase and if any popup shows it will dismiss the alert.

I also have go through ur url. when i click on call geolocation api, a pop is shown. U can stop this kind of pop up by doing the followings:

-go to settings of chrome and click on advanced settings.
-than click on content settings under privacy.
-than u will see pop ups and location options.

form there choose what option u want. Choose

"Allow all sites to track ur physical location" 

if u don't want to see the popup.
