Location Helper brings the power of Core Location to AppleScript. Location Helper has no interface, and runs in the background waiting for AppleScripts to ask it to do something.

You can use it to find your current location, altitude, geocode addresses, even reverse geocode your current location from your AppleScript scripts and applications.

Location Helper also contains all the functionality of our popular app JSON Helper, which allows you to parse JSON into AppleScript records, and convert AppleScript lists, records and strings into JSON.

Awesome!

Ive been waiting for something like this since Core Location was announced. Having a carputer, this is a wonderful addition for getting info based on where I am. (Just giddy with the possibilities!)

Copied and pasted from my review for this developers JSON Helper application

For this application to actually work, you have to leave it as a "helper" application running in the background. Id prefer it if this could just be a Scripting Addition plugin, but Im pretty sure those arent allowed on the App Store. Wish Apple would change their mind about this though.

Very handy!

I was looking for something to help me customize some of my Geeklets (little command-line scripts that run in GeekTool). Anyway, along comes Mr. Blishen and boom! Instant geo-location awareness easily integrated with AppleScript, which worked perfectly for changing where on my screen certain Geeklets showed up depending on if I was running docked to a large monitor or standalone. Location Helpers well-thought out use cases helped me get everthing up and running within minutes. Thank you very much!

Fantastic companion to applescript

I am relatively new to applescript, but I was able to figure out (and use) this app to create a location based file opening script. Everything worked as it should and the example page on the developer site was very useful. For anyone looking to create location based events in applescript, this is a great tool. I definitely look foward to using it again.

Perfect! THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS.

Perfect. Does exactly what I need it to. Nuff said.

Please Update

It worked awesome before I upgraded to OS X Yosemite. Please update!

Works awesome!

Love using this with the TextExpandor script!
