Chrome seems to be very accurate in detecting my location. How does it do it? Can you point me to the source code?

They look at several things: -> The unique identifiers (SSID) of wireless networks at your location and signal strengths. -> IP address (your public IP address) -> GPS (if available) -> Mobile network location data (if available)
