# WhereAmI-GeoJson

A command line tool to get your geographic coordinates in GeoJson format using the OS X [CoreLocation][] framework.

Forked from [WhereAmI][].

## Usage

Open with Finder to execute, or in the terminal. If it can determine a location, it will output current location (longitude, latitude) in *GeoJson* format (whereas the original WhereAmI displays the data in plain text).

WhereAmI-GeoJson 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 output:

	{

	  "type" : "Feature",

	  "geometry" : {

	    "type" : "Point",

	    "coordinates" : [

	      5.26,

	      52.30276

	    ]

	  },

	  "properties" : {

	    "name" : "Timestamp: 17\/06\/14 20:34:08 GMT+2"

	  }

	}

You can use [GeoJSONLint][geojsonlint] to test the output.

## Notes

This is a quick and dirty example. I make no guarantees or warranties as to its accuracy, stability or compatibility (it should work with 10.7 and 10.8, but I have only tested it on 10.7). Feel free to do with it as you wish.
