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