whereami

What is it, and how to use it

whereami is the simplest way to get your location when at the command line. In the simplest form, just invoke the command and it will respond with your location coordinates:

$ whereami
41.386905825791,2.14425782089087

If you need fancier output, you can pass --format json or --format sexagesimal to get the output in the corresponding format:

$ whereami --format json
{"latitude":41.386905825791, "longitude": 2.14425782089087}
$ whereami --format sexagesimal
41° 23′ 12.8609728477426″, 2° 8′ 39.3281552071449″

Other options

In addition to the above options, there's also the mandatory --version and --help options.
