whereami's Introduction

WhereAmI

A quick command line tool to get your geographic coordinates using the OS X CoreLocation framework, and optionally get human-readable geolocation data (address, etc.) via the OpenCage API.

Download a zip with the latest version here. As the app is unsigned, on newer versions of Mac OS, you will need to right-click (or control-click) the zip file to open it. See Apple's Knowledge Base for more information.

Usage

Open with Finder to execute, or in the terminal. If it can determine a location, it will output longitude, latitude, accuracy in meters and the time the location was found. WhereAmI tries to get a recent location, and will not display one if it is more than a minute old (to avoid inaccurate results from CoreLocation's cached data). If it cannot get location data, it will quit and print an error message.

Example:

whereami

Output:

Latitude: 45.424807, 
Longitude: -75.699234
Accuracy (m): 65.000000
Timestamp: 2019-09-28, 12:40:20 PM EDT

Geolocation with OpenCage

(Available from version 1.1) Use the -k flag, followed by your OpenCage API key (available here), to get human readable location data.

Example:

whereami -k API_KEY_HERE

Output:

Latitude: 45.424807, 
Longitude: -75.699234
Accuracy (m): 65.000000
Timestamp: 2019-09-28, 12:40:20 PM EDT

Notes

This is provided on an as-is basis. I make no guarantees or warranties as to its accuracy, stability or compatibility. It should be compatible with Mac OS 10.7 and above. Feel free to do with it as you wish.

Changelog

1.1.0

Added support for OpenCage API
Updated Xcode project for Xcode 10

1.0.2

Fixed missing @autoreleasepool. Shouldn't be any practical changes, but it's good form.

1.0.1

WhereAmI will now check if Wi-Fi is not enabled and tell the user such if it can't get location data.

whereami's Issues

OpenCage Warning

Thanks a lot for this tool! It works like a charm on BigSur.

I get this warning when using the OpenCage API:
2021-07-06 10:26:25.879 whereami[7395:98604] [NSURLSession sharedSession] may not be invalidated

Doesn't impact the usage, and unfortunately I can't program so I can't fix this and send a PR.

Not an issue, but this is awesome.

This is great!

I wanted to let you know that is a great tool... it lets me live my dream of appending my location to all of my git commits!

Ventura Location Services Access

Currently getting the issue of Access to location services was denied. You may need to enable access in System Preferences. but no setting is available in settings on Ventura. Has anyone solved this?

JSON output

Thank you for this useful tool!

Feature request:
Would be great if you can print the result in JSON.

Not working in Catalina

When I installed a copy of 1.1.0 onto a machine with 10.15.6 on it, I get an "zsh: exec format error" when I try to just execute the binary, and when I sudo it, I get "cannot execute binary file".

Switching from zsh to bash gets me the "cannot execute binary file" no matter what.

Any idea if it's possible to get this working with Catalina?

Not an issue as well, I've made a Brew cask

If anyone interested, you can install robmathers/WhereAmI via Homebrew cask by tapping welldan97/whereami:

Automation issues

Hi there,

We're trying to deploy whereami in a script that is run on an interval using launchd and for some reason it can't execute it in this environment. The same is true when trying to run it using cron. We can run it manually in the CLI all day (both the utility and the script containing it) but we've had no success using the native macOS automation tools. Here's an example of the plist we've been using:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
	<dict>
		<key>Label</key>
		<string>org.metroeast.whereami</string>
		<key>ProgramArguments</key>
		<array>
                 <string>/usr/local/bin/whereami</string>
                </array>
		<key>RunAtLoad</key>
		<true/>
		<key>StartInterval</key>
		<integer>3600</integer>
                 <key>StandardOutPath</key>
                 <string>/tmp/whereami.now</string>
                 <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
                <string>/tmp/whereami.now</string>
	</dict>
</plist>

We tested the date utility in the same launchd file to make sure it would run something else and it did. Any ideas?

[Request] Make an iOS version

It would be awesome if you would compile a version that would work on a jailbroken iOS device.

What is the license on this?

I don't see a mention of one in the readme, nor a LICENSE, COPYING file. Could you please choose and add one?
