Description
This will fetch the elevation and current temperature for an arbitrary latitude and longitude.
You can use this in two ways:
- Copy a latitude and longitude separated by a "," and run the shortcut. Note Google Maps defaults to a format like,
(37.8599067, -121.9051760)
. The shortcut will take care of reformatting that for you automatically. - Use the Share menu in google maps. Just go to Google Maps, select any point, and run this shortcut from the Share menu.
You will need a free developer key for MapQuest for the elevation. Just paste in the 'Consumer Key' you get there in the shortcut.
This shortcut now includes Embed-a-Update, so it requires no external shortcuts or resources like UpdateKit. Embed-a-Update is also very fast. Enjoy.
